If one fruit flavour and ten spare bags suit your cream tea, Clipper’s 250-envelope Berry Burst catering case keeps the order in one case. For exactly 240 bags and a choice of four flavours, twelve 20-envelope Twinings Fruit Discovery boxes meet the count, though you will have twelve cartons to manage.
The pack-count decision changes with the way you plan to serve the tea, not just the number of cups you expect to pour.
If you are buying one bag per planned cup, decide whether an exact count matters or whether a few spare bags would be useful. Clipper Tea Shop lists a 250-envelope Berry Burst case; Twinings UK lists Fruit Discovery in 20-envelope boxes.
For a guest-facing tea station, consider how people will identify and handle each blend. Twinings UK says every bag in its Fruit Discovery Collection is sealed in its own envelope; check the serving format of any other pack you choose.
A fruit infusion can give guests another choice alongside traditional tea. Check the caffeine statement and current ingredients for each exact blend rather than treating all fruit teas as interchangeable.
Start with the number of bags and flavours you need, then plan how guests will choose and prepare their tea.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack count | Clipper Tea Shop lists Berry Burst as 250 envelopes. Twinings UK lists 20 envelopes per Fruit Discovery box, so twelve boxes provide 240 bags. Check whether you want one case or an exact-count order. | I am planning around 240 cups. Ten spare bags would be useful, or I would rather order exactly 240. |
| Flavour choice | Twinings UK lists four blends, with five bags of each per Fruit Discovery box. Clipper’s Berry Burst case provides one named blend. Decide how many choices the tea station needs. | I would like guests to choose between fruit flavours, or I would prefer to set out just one blend. |
| Ingredients | Read the caffeine statement and ingredient list on the exact products being served. Do not assume that a fruit-tea label tells you every ingredient. | Some guests may ask what is in their tea, so I want the current pack information close to the serving area. |
| Self-service | Check whether bags are individually wrapped and whether guests can identify each flavour. Twinings UK says its Fruit Discovery bags are sealed in individual envelopes. | People will make their own drinks, and I need a practical way to set out and label the choices. |
| Preparation | Follow the selected pack’s brewing directions and plan enough hot water and space for cups to steep. Teapigs UK specifies 3 minutes or longer for Super Fruit. | I want guests to see how long their chosen blend should brew without holding up the drinks station. |
A 240-bag listing can be black tea rather than the fruit infusion intended for your cream tea.
Read the product title and tea type before comparing quantities, and check the ingredients of the blend you intend to serve.
Clipper’s Berry Burst case contains one named infusion. Twinings UK lists four flavours in its Fruit Discovery Collection, including berry and citrus blends.
Choose the number of flavours before settling on a case size. If you want the Twinings assortment, calculate the number of 20-envelope boxes needed.
Guests need somewhere to leave a cup while the tea brews. Teapigs UK directs customers to brew Super Fruit for at least 3 minutes.
Display the directions for the blend you serve and allow space and hot water for guests making drinks at the same time.
A caffeine statement does not identify every ingredient. The separately sold Twinings Cranberry & Raspberry tea, for example, lists liquorice root.
Keep the current packaging or supplier ingredient information for each exact blend available to guests. If you are serving tea as a food business, check the applicable allergen-information guidance from GOV.UK or Food Standards Scotland.
These references illustrate different pack formats; a brand’s inclusion here does not mean every product in its range suits a 240-bag order.

For a 240-bag order, you would need twelve of these 20-bag packs. The stated pack weight is 40g. Check the current ingredients and pack format for the selection you intend to serve.
It can be if ten spare bags are acceptable and one fruit flavour suits your guests. Clipper Tea Shop lists Berry Burst as a 250-envelope catering case; if the order must contain exactly 240 bags, twelve Twinings Fruit Discovery boxes of 20 envelopes reach that count instead.
Twelve 20-envelope boxes make 240 bags. Twinings UK lists five bags of each of four flavours per box, so twelve boxes would contain 60 bags of each listed flavour.
Do not assume so from the category name. Clipper Tea Shop describes Berry Burst as naturally caffeine-free, and Teapigs UK says the same of Super Fruit; check the caffeine statement on whichever exact product you serve.
Use the directions on the selected pack and leave guests enough room to steep their cups. Teapigs UK specifies at least 3 minutes for Super Fruit; other blends may give different directions, so display the instructions for the tea actually set out.
