Who is each pack size for?
Expected demand matters more than the largest available bag count.
Organisers expecting regular green-tea requests
A countable supply can simplify planning for a shared tea station. Nisbets lists Twinings Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags as 12 packs of 20, with individually wrapped bags and a self-merchandising carton.
Organisers unsure what guests will choose
Smaller packs allow a mixed selection without committing to 240 bags of one tea. Clipper lists a 20-bag pure green tea, Pukka offers 20- and 40-sachet matcha-green options, and teapigs lists Mao Feng in 15 tea temples.
Hosts accommodating caffeine or dietary preferences
Check the ingredients, caffeine description and allergen information on each purchased variant rather than applying one product’s details to another. If the organiser operates as a retail or catering food business, Food Standards Agency guidance requires allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink.
What should you check before ordering?
Start with the likely number of green-tea drinkers, then decide whether the serving format and tea selection suit the event.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
| Quantity |
Confirm the total bag count and inner packs. Nisbets and Caffe Society list the Twinings Pure Green catering format as 12 × 20 bags; check the exact variant when ordering. |
I expect green tea to be chosen regularly, so 240 bags could be useful. If take-up is uncertain, I would rather start with fewer bags or several teas. |
| Self-service format |
Check whether bags are individually wrapped and how they are presented. Nisbets describes both individual wrapping and a self-merchandising carton for its 12 × 20 Twinings listing. |
Guests will choose their own tea, and I want bags that can be set out and replenished in manageable quantities. |
| Flavour and preparation |
Check whether the tea is plain green tea or a blend, then follow that pack’s water-temperature and brewing directions. Pukka Supreme Matcha Green is a blend; teapigs specifies 80°C and three minutes for Mao Feng. |
A mixed selection matters more to me than one large pack, or volunteers need clear instructions for the teas being served. |
| Caffeine and ingredients |
Read the exact pack’s caffeine, ingredient and allergen information. A decaffeinated declaration on a different Twinings format does not establish the status of the 12 × 20 pack. |
Some guests may ask about caffeine or ingredients, so I need information for the products actually on the table. |
Green-tea brands and formats
These brand examples illustrate different pack and tea formats; they do not establish which products are available through Joybuy.
Twinings
Nisbets and Caffe Society list Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags in a 12 × 20 catering configuration.
- Nisbets describes individually wrapped bags and a self-merchandising carton.
- Check the exact variant’s caffeine declaration; the separate Twinings UK B2B decaffeinated listing describes a different pack.
Clipper
Clipper Tea Shop lists Organic Fairtrade Pure Green in a 20-pyramid-bag pack.
- The listed ingredient is organically grown green tea.
- A 20-bag pack is a smaller-format choice, not a single 240-bag catering pack.
Pukka
Pukka Herbs UK offers Supreme Matcha Green in 20- and 40-sachet formats.
- The 40-sachet option can form part of a smaller or mixed selection.
- Supreme Matcha Green is a green-tea and matcha blend, not plain pure green tea.
teapigs
teapigs UK lists Mao Feng green tea in a pack of 15 tea temples.
- The product directions specify one tea temple per person, brewed for three minutes at 80°C.
- The listing says this tea naturally contains caffeine; 15 tea temples do not meet a 240-bag requirement.

Common questions
Can I get 240 bags of green tea in one catering format?
Yes. Nisbets and Caffe Society list Twinings Pure Green Enveloped Tea Bags as 12 packs of 20. Nisbets also describes individually wrapped bags and a self-merchandising carton; confirm the exact variant and current availability with the seller before ordering.
When do smaller packs make more sense?
Choose smaller packs when you are unsure how many guests will drink green tea or want to serve more than one variety. Clipper lists a 20-bag pure green tea, Pukka offers 20- and 40-sachet Supreme Matcha Green formats, and teapigs lists 15 Mao Feng tea temples; these are different products, not inner packs of the Twinings catering format.
Can volunteers use one brewing method for every green tea?
Use the directions for each exact product instead. Clipper advises boiling water and a three- to five-minute infusion for its listed pyramid bags, while teapigs specifies 80°C water and three minutes for Mao Feng.
Is green tea always decaffeinated?
No. teapigs says its Mao Feng naturally contains caffeine, while Twinings UK B2B describes a separate Pure Green product as decaffeinated. Check the caffeine description on the exact pack, particularly if guests have asked for a decaffeinated option.
What allergen information should an organised coffee morning provide?
If the organiser operates as a retail or catering food business, Food Standards Agency guidance requires allergen information for both prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink. Keep the ingredient and allergen information for the tea actually served available to answer guests’ questions; do not rely on another variant’s listing.
