If one large pack matters more than an exact count, Clipper sells Berry Burst in 250 envelopes, though its ingredients include liquorice root. For exactly 240 bags, twelve 20-bag fruit-infusion boxes provide the right count; check the ingredients of each blend before buying, particularly if someone who is pregnant will drink it.
Who is this supply for?
Breastfeeding parents reducing caffeine
A fruit infusion labelled caffeine-free offers a different choice from ordinary tea. Check the particular blend rather than relying on the word “tea”: the NHS advises breastfeeding parents who consume caffeine to have no more than 300mg a day.
Households stocking a shared drinks cupboard
Decide whether one catering pack or an exact total matters more. Clipper’s Berry Burst pack contains 250 envelopes; twelve 20-bag boxes make 240 bags and allow a choice of blends.
Households buying for someone who is pregnant
Check the ingredients of every intended blend, not just its fruit flavour or caffeine description. The NHS advises avoiding teas containing liquorice root in pregnancy, and that ingredient appears in some fruit infusions.
What should you check before buying?
Settle the pack-count question first, then compare the caffeine description and ingredients of the blends people in the household will actually drink.
One catering pack
Choose when: One pack is more important than an exact 240-bag count; Clipper sells Berry Burst as 250 envelopes.
Bear in mind: It contains ten more bags than requested, and its listed liquorice root matters if someone who is pregnant will drink it.
Twelve smaller boxes
Choose when: Exactly 240 bags or a choice of blends matters more than having one carton; twelve 20-bag boxes reach that total.
Bear in mind: This means storing multiple boxes and checking the ingredients of each selected blend.

What to check |
Your needs |
| Pack count |
Check the number of bags in each physical pack. Clipper’s Berry Burst catering pack has 250 envelopes; twelve 20-bag boxes make 240 bags. |
I need to know whether 240 is an exact requirement or whether a single pack of 250 would work for the household. |
| Caffeine description |
Read the description of the particular infusion rather than assuming that anything called tea is caffeine-free. Clipper labels Berry Burst naturally caffeine-free; Twinings describes its fruit and herbal range the same way. |
For a household reducing caffeinated drinks, I want the chosen infusion’s caffeine description to be clear. |
| Ingredients |
Read the current ingredient list for every blend. Clipper Berry Burst and three blends in the Twinings Fruit Selection listing include liquorice root; NHS guidance says to avoid teas containing it in pregnancy. |
Someone who is pregnant may drink from this supply, so the ingredients of a mixed selection matter as much as those of a single-flavour pack. |
| Storage |
Check the storage instructions and space needed for the chosen format. Sainsbury’s instructs buyers to keep its Strawberry, Raspberry & Cranberry tea in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. |
If I buy several boxes at once, I need somewhere suitable to keep them until they are used. |
What is easy to overlook?
-
Assuming all fruit teas have similar ingredients
Fruit infusions can contain herbs and roots as well as fruit. Clipper Berry Burst and some Twinings fruit blends list liquorice root, while the listed ingredients for Sainsbury’s Strawberry, Raspberry & Cranberry do not include it.
Read the current pack label before committing to a large supply. If pregnancy is relevant, follow NHS guidance to avoid teas containing liquorice root.
-
Confusing a near match with an exact 240-bag pack
Clipper’s Berry Burst catering pack contains 250 envelopes. An exact 240-bag total made from twelve 20-bag boxes is a different purchase and storage arrangement.
Decide whether the requirement is exactly 240 bags, roughly that quantity or one physical carton before choosing a format.
-
Treating caffeine-free as the only suitability check
A caffeine description does not tell you which botanical ingredients a blend contains. NHS guidance addresses caffeine while breastfeeding and separately advises avoiding liquorice-root teas in pregnancy.
Check both the caffeine description and ingredient list for the intended drinker; ask a midwife, GP or health visitor about individual concerns.
Relevant brands and shopping routes
These examples show how pack formats and ingredient lists differ; a brand name alone does not establish the details of every blend it sells.
Clipper
Berry Burst is a 250-envelope catering-format fruit infusion for buyers who can accept a count above 240.
- Clipper labels Berry Burst naturally caffeine-free and gives an infusion time of 2–5 minutes.

Pukka
Elderberry & Echinacea is an organic-labelled fruit tea sold in a 20-bag box.

- Teapigs describes Super Fruit as naturally caffeine-free.
- Check the pack count before relying on it for a 240-bag supply.

Sainsbury’s
Its Strawberry, Raspberry & Cranberry fruit infusion comes in a 20-bag box.

Common questions
Can a breastfeeding parent choose fruit tea instead of ordinary tea?
A fruit infusion identified as caffeine-free offers a way to choose a drink without the caffeine in ordinary tea, but check the individual product. The NHS says caffeine can make a breastfed baby restless and advises breastfeeding parents who consume it to have no more than 300mg a day.
Is any fruit tea suitable during pregnancy?
Do not assume so from the name: fruit infusions can contain herbs and roots. NHS pregnancy guidance says to avoid teas containing liquorice root, which is listed in Clipper Berry Burst and several Twinings fruit blends. Check the current label and ask a midwife about a particular ingredient if needed.
How can I make up exactly 240 fruit-tea bags?
Twelve 20-bag boxes give a total of 240 bags. Sainsbury’s Strawberry, Raspberry & Cranberry and Twinings Fruit Selection are 20-bag examples, but they differ in flavours and listed ingredients; check the boxes you intend to buy.
How should I store several boxes of fruit tea?
Follow the instructions for the chosen product. Sainsbury’s says to store its Strawberry, Raspberry & Cranberry tea in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours.
