Choose Twinings Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags 1x12x20 if you need exactly 240 individually wrapped bags and a decaffeinated green tea is acceptable: Twinings identifies the product as decaffeinated, while the Amazon.co.uk listing specifies 12 boxes of 20 envelopes. If the count can rise to 250, Clipper offers an organic pure green tea in individually wrapped envelopes with a Fairtrade claim; smaller packs make more sense when you want to try a particular tea before stocking a shared snack station.
For an office kitchen, meeting room or guest tray, individually wrapped bags and a known carton count can make it easier to set out tea and plan replenishment. Amazon.co.uk describes the Twinings 240-bag pack as 12 boxes of 20 individually wrapped envelopes.
Someone choosing tea for an afternoon snack may specifically want a decaffeinated option. Twinings identifies its Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags 1x12x20 as 100% decaffeinated green tea; check that exact product identity rather than relying on the words “green tea” alone.
Clipper’s 250-envelope pack is an option when the count can exceed 240. Clipper describes its contents as organic pure green tea and says its tea is traded in compliance with Fairtrade standards.
Settle whether 240 is an exact stock requirement before choosing between a catering carton and smaller packs. Then check the caffeine description, wrapping and preparation instructions for the particular product.
Choose when: A fixed count and individually wrapped bags matter for shared afternoon service; Amazon.co.uk lists the Twinings pack as 12 boxes of 20 envelopes.
Check: Twinings identifies its 1x12x20 product as decaffeinated, so it is not the option to choose if caffeinated tea is required.
Choose when: Ten additional bags are acceptable and Clipper’s organic pure green tea and stated Fairtrade compliance matter more than an exact 240 count.
Trade-off: Clipper’s catering pack contains 250 envelopes, so it cannot fulfil a specification that requires exactly 240.
Choose when: You want to try a tea or stock smaller quantities before committing to a catering carton; Tesco Groceries lists green teas in 15-, 20- and 80-bag formats.
Trade-off: A small pack does not provide 240 bags in one carton, and its ingredients or caffeine description should not be assumed to match a larger product.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack count | Check the total bag count and carton breakdown. Amazon.co.uk lists the Twinings pack as 12 boxes of 20, or 240 bags; Clipper lists 250 envelopes for its catering pack. | “I need exactly 240” calls for a different choice from “around 240 is fine”. A divided carton may also suit a station that opens one box at a time. |
| Wrapping | Confirm whether each bag has its own envelope, particularly for guest trays or self-service. The Amazon.co.uk Twinings listing specifies individually wrapped bags. | For a shared snack station, I want to know how the bags will be set out and handled, not just how many arrive. |
| Caffeine description | Read the wording for the exact variant. Twinings identifies its Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags 1x12x20 as 100% decaffeinated green tea. | If decaffeinated tea matters for the afternoon selection, I need that description on the product I actually buy. |
| Tea and preparation | Check whether the product is pure green tea, a blend or roasted green tea, then follow its own brewing directions. Teapigs specifies 80°C water and three minutes for its Mao Feng green tea. | I may want to serve the same tea consistently, or try a different flavour in a small pack before ordering a larger quantity. |
Clipper’s catering pack has ten more envelopes than a 240-bag requirement, which changes the count used for stocking and replenishment.
Decide whether 240 is a fixed specification. If it is, check the total on the exact pack rather than treating a nearby catering size as interchangeable.
Twinings identifies its Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags 1x12x20 as decaffeinated. A different green-tea product should be assessed on its own label.
Check the ingredients and caffeine wording for the precise variant before buying for people who request decaffeinated tea.
A total bag count does not, by itself, say how bags are wrapped or divided within the carton. That distinction matters when setting out tea on guest trays or at a self-service station.
Confirm both the wrapping and the inner-box count. Amazon.co.uk specifies 12 boxes of 20 individually wrapped envelopes for the Twinings 240-bag listing.
Preparation directions can differ by product. For example, Teapigs specifies 80°C water and a three-minute brew for its Mao Feng green tea.
Keep the instructions for the tea being served alongside the station, especially when switching between products.
These are product-format references for the 240-bag decision, not a list of brands available in the same carton size.
Twinings identifies Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags 1x12x20 as decaffeinated green tea. Amazon.co.uk describes a 240-bag listing made up of 12 boxes of 20 individually wrapped envelopes.
Clipper lists Organic Fairtrade Pure Green Tea in a 250-envelope catering pack and states that its tea is traded in compliance with Fairtrade standards.
Pukka lists Supreme Matcha Green in 20-bag and 40-sachet formats.
Teapigs lists a 15-tea-temple Mao Feng green tea pack and specifies 80°C water and a three-minute brew.
Tesco Groceries lists smaller green-tea products, including Twinings and Clipper 80-bag packs, Pukka 20 bags and Teapigs 15 bags.
This smaller pack is an option for trying roasted green tea or stocking a modest afternoon supply; it is not a 240-bag catering carton.

This roasted green tea is a smaller-pack option for an afternoon drink rather than an exact-count catering supply. The product name states 20 portions of 1.8 g; check the pack’s caffeine description if decaffeinated tea is required, and follow its preparation instructions when serving.
Twinings identifies its Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags 1x12x20 as 100% decaffeinated green tea, and Amazon.co.uk lists a 240-bag pack as 12 boxes of 20 individually wrapped envelopes. Check the exact variant before buying; the caffeine description of one product should not be applied to another.
It can serve as a nearby catering-size alternative only if the count may increase by ten bags. Clipper specifies 250 envelopes, so it does not fulfil a requirement for exactly 240.
Follow the directions for the product you put out, rather than applying one method to every green tea. Teapigs, for example, specifies 80°C water and a three-minute brew for its Mao Feng green tea; keep the chosen pack’s instructions available where drinks are prepared.
They are worth checking when bags will be set out on guest trays or handled at a self-service station, because wrapping affects how you can present and store individual portions. Amazon.co.uk describes the Twinings 240-bag pack as individually wrapped; wrapping alone is not a guarantee of tea quality.
