For repeated or large dinners that need exactly 240 individually enveloped fruit infusions, Twinings lists a Strawberry & Raspberry 12 × 20 catering case. Clipper’s 250-envelope Berry Burst is an alternative only if ten extra servings suit your plans; for a smaller dinner or a choice of flavours, 20-bag retail packs offer more flexibility. Check the current ingredients and brewing directions for whichever blend you serve.
The number of dinners and the range of flavours you want matter more than the largest pack count alone.
An exact 12 × 20 case gives you 240 individually enveloped portions to count across events. Twinings lists this format for its Strawberry & Raspberry infusion; check that a single flavour will suit the guests you expect.
Choose a product that explicitly states its caffeine status, then check the current ingredients and allergen information for each flavour. A caffeine-free statement does not answer every ingredient question.
Fifteen- or 20-bag packs let you offer different blends without committing to 240 portions of one flavour. Count the packs separately if you still need a particular total.
Start with the required serving count, then check the type of infusion, ingredients and preparation directions for the guests and meal.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack quantity | Twinings UK B2B lists Strawberry & Raspberry as 12 × 20 envelopes, or 240 portions. Clipper Tea Shop lists Berry Burst as 250 envelopes. Twelve 20-bag boxes also total 240 bags, but are separate retail packs. | I need an exact count for several dinners; if ten extra portions or several smaller boxes would be awkward, the pack format matters as much as the total. |
| Tea type and caffeine | Check that the specific product is a fruit or herbal infusion and explicitly states its caffeine status. A large box labelled simply as tea may be a different type of drink. | For an evening dinner, I want to know what I am offering guests who avoid caffeine rather than relying on the flavour name. |
| Flavour and brewing | Compare the stated ingredients for berry-led and apple-and-spice blends. Follow the chosen pack’s water and timing instructions: Clipper specifies 2–5 minutes for Berry Burst, while Twinings specifies about three minutes for its 20-bag Strawberry & Raspberry product. | Some guests may prefer berries and others a spiced infusion, so I would rather choose the blend before settling on a large single-flavour case. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current pack for the complete ingredient and allergen wording. Tesco’s listing for Pukka Wild Apple & Cinnamon, for example, says it contains barley; ingredients differ between blends. | If a guest has an allergy, intolerance or ingredient restriction, I need to identify the exact blend being served and keep its packaging to hand. |
A large tea case does not necessarily contain a fruit infusion, even when its bag count matches your plan.
Check the full product name, ingredients and caffeine statement. For the Twinings fruit-infusion case, look for Strawberry & Raspberry Envelope 1x12x20.
Clipper’s Berry Burst catering pack contains ten more envelopes than a 240-serving plan calls for.
Choose it if that difference works for your events and storage; otherwise use an exact-count case or count out smaller packs.
Caffeine status does not describe every ingredient. Tesco’s Pukka Wild Apple & Cinnamon listing states that the blend contains barley.
Check each current pack against guests’ declared allergies, intolerances and ingredient restrictions, and keep the packaging available when serving.
A recipe or allergen statement can change, and a product considered while planning may not be available when you order.
Confirm the order details before the event, then check the best-before date and ingredient information on the packs you receive.
These examples show different pack sizes and flavour directions; a brand’s smaller retail pack should not be mistaken for its catering format.
Twinings UK B2B lists Strawberry & Raspberry Envelope 1x12x20 as an exact 240-envelope fruit-infusion case.
Clipper Tea Shop lists Organic Berry Burst as a 250-envelope catering infusion, rather than an exact 240-count case.
Pukka Wild Apple & Cinnamon offers an apple-and-spice direction in a 20-bag herbal-infusion pack.
teapigs lists Super Fruit in a 15-temple pack with hibiscus and several berry ingredients.
Tesco Red Berries is listed as a 20-bag hibiscus-and-fruit infusion for smaller-pack purchasing.
These 20-sachet and 20-bag options suit a smaller comfort dinner or a plan assembled from retail packs. Neither product is the single 240-envelope catering case discussed above.

A 20-bag selection offers several fruit flavours for a smaller dinner. The Joybuy listing names Cranberry & Raspberry, Mango & Strawberry, Blackcurrant & Blueberry and St Clements. Twelve packs would be needed to reach 240 bags; check the current ingredients and brewing directions for each blend.

This berry-named 20-sachet pack is an option when you want to buy for a smaller gathering. Twelve packs would total 240 sachets, but they would remain separate retail packs. Check the pack’s caffeine statement, full ingredients and brewing directions if those details affect what you serve.
Yes. Twinings UK B2B lists Strawberry & Raspberry Envelope 1x12x20, which totals 240 envelopes. Check ordering eligibility, availability and the current pack details before relying on it for an event.
It can be if ten extra servings fit your plans. Clipper Tea Shop lists Berry Burst as a 250-envelope catering pack, but its count and ingredient profile differ from the Twinings 240-envelope case.
Follow the directions for the blend you serve. Twinings specifies about three minutes in 200 ml of freshly boiled water for its 20-bag Strawberry & Raspberry product; Clipper gives 2–5 minutes with boiling water for Berry Burst. Check the catering case’s own directions rather than assuming those timings apply to every product.
No: caffeine status does not settle ingredient or allergen suitability. Tesco’s Pukka Wild Apple & Cinnamon listing, for instance, states that it contains barley. Check the current pack for each blend against guests’ stated restrictions.
