Buyers stocking a shared lunch area
An 80-bag box gives the canteen a defined quantity to order and store. Twinings lists both Pure Peppermint and Lemon & Ginger in this format.
Who is this for?
Staff looking for a caffeine-free drink
Twinings describes both 80-bag infusions as caffeine-free. Flavour is the main choice between these two products: peppermint or lemon and ginger.
Canteens sharing ingredient information
Keeping the delivered packaging accessible lets staff check the current ingredients, particularly for the multi-ingredient Lemon & Ginger blend. Serve either product as a drink, without making treatment claims.
What should a canteen buyer check?
Start with the quantity needed for the lunch area, then choose a flavour and check the information staff will need when the tea is served.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack quantity | Confirm that the selected variant is one box of 80 tea bags, rather than a multipack. Check the bag count again at checkout. | I need a defined supply for the shared lunch area, without ordering more boxes than intended. |
| Caffeine | Check the caffeine statement for the exact infusion. Twinings describes both its 80-bag Pure Peppermint and Lemon & Ginger products as caffeine-free. | A caffeine-free alternative to ordinary tea or coffee would be useful at lunch. |
| Flavour | Compare the single-ingredient peppermint infusion with the lemon-and-ginger blend. Neither flavour will suit every member of staff. | Would a mint drink be welcome here, or are staff more likely to choose citrus and ginger? |
| Ingredients | Keep the delivered pack available for its current ingredient and allergen information. The Lemon & Ginger listing names several botanicals and natural lemon flavouring. | People using the canteen need to be able to inspect what is in the drink. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Confusing an 80-bag box with a multipack
A multipack changes the quantity the canteen must store and use.
Check the selected variant and its total tea-bag count before ordering.
-
Treating herbal flavours as interchangeable
Pure Peppermint contains peppermint, while Twinings Lemon & Ginger lists several botanicals and flavouring ingredients. The choice affects both flavour and the information staff may wish to check.
Choose according to likely staff preferences, and retain the delivered pack for its current ingredient details.
Relevant brand references
These brand ranges offer different flavours and pack formats; inclusion here does not mean each has a single 80-bag herbal box.
Twinings
Twinings lists Pure Peppermint and Lemon & Ginger as 80-bag herbal infusions.
- Its product pages describe both options as caffeine-free.
- The flavour and ingredient details differ; check the selected product rather than assuming all Twinings infusions are alike.
Pukka
Pukka describes its teas as organically certified and Fair for Life certified.
- The Tesco Groceries listing includes Pukka herbal tea in a 20-bag pack.
- Check the bag count of any Pukka product against a requirement for one 80-bag box.
Clipper
Tesco Groceries lists Clipper herbal infusions, including a 20-pack peppermint-and-spearmint option.
- Its listed herbal flavours offer another choice when a smaller pack is suitable.
- Clipper’s Organic Everyday Tea contains black tea, so do not substitute it for a requested herbal infusion.
Teapigs
The Teapigs herbal range lists flavours including peppermint, lemon and ginger, chamomile, and rooibos-based tea.
- The range offers several flavour profiles to consider.
- Confirm the pack size of a chosen flavour if the canteen needs exactly 80 bags in one box.
Tesco
Tesco Groceries lists own-label lemon-and-ginger and peppermint herbal teas in 40-bag packs.
- Those listed packs provide a lower-count option when an 80-bag box is not required.
- Check the selected product’s bag count rather than treating two smaller cartons as one 80-bag box.

Questions about canteen use
Which 80-bag box should a canteen start with?
Twinings Pure Peppermint is a straightforward starting point if staff are likely to choose mint: its listed ingredient is 100% peppermint, and Twinings describes it as caffeine-free. If citrus and ginger are more likely to appeal, consider the caffeine-free Lemon & Ginger box instead and keep its ingredient information available.
Is Twinings Lemon & Ginger caffeine-free?
Yes. Twinings describes its 80-bag Lemon & Ginger herbal infusion as caffeine-free. The Joybuy listing also names several botanical and flavouring ingredients, so staff should be able to check the delivered pack.
How do you brew Twinings Pure Peppermint?
Twinings instructs users to infuse one tea bag in 200ml of freshly boiled water for three minutes. Check the instructions on the pack supplied for canteen use.
What if the canteen pre-packs tea bags for direct sale?
For food a business produces as prepacked for direct sale in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, the Food Standards Agency says the label must give the food’s name and a full ingredients list, with allergenic ingredients emphasised. Check whether the canteen’s particular packing and sales arrangement falls within that category; simply serving tea from its original box is a different arrangement.
