An exact 240-bag peppermint box suits a late-supper household that enjoys mint and does not find it aggravates reflux. If the blend matters more than one large carton, six 40-bag Twinings Sleep boxes make 240 bags; for serving guests, a listed 250-bag Clipper chamomile catering format is a near-size alternative. Choose a sleep-labelled blend for its ingredients and flavour, not as an insomnia treatment.
Who is buying for late suppers?
Households making tea regularly
If a herbal drink is part of supper most evenings, decide whether you need one 240-bag box or can store several smaller packs. Organic Bargains lists a 240-bag peppermint product; Twinings sells its Superblends Sleep infusion in 40-bag boxes.
Hosts serving guests
A single catering carton may be simpler to serve from than a collection of retail boxes. UK Catering Supplies lists 250 enveloped Clipper chamomile bags, so check whether that count and format suit your plans.
Drinkers checking particular ingredients
Flavour names are not enough if an ingredient matters to you. Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust notes that peppermint can provoke acid reflux; anyone buying a blend should also read its full herb list, particularly during pregnancy or when taking medicines.
What should you check before buying?
Start with the tea type and the quantity you need, then choose a flavour and ingredient list that suit the people drinking it.
One 240-bag peppermint box
Choose it when: One exact-size herbal box matters and the household already enjoys peppermint.
Bear in mind: Organic Bargains lists a peppermint-only product, while Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust says peppermint can provoke reflux.
Six 40-bag bedtime boxes
Choose them when: You prefer Twinings Superblends Sleep and need a total of 240 bags rather than one catering carton.
Bear in mind: Twinings says its 40-bag box is not individually enveloped; confirm that you can order and store six boxes.
A 250-bag chamomile carton
Choose it when: You are serving several people and can accept 250 bags instead of exactly 240.
Bear in mind: UK Catering Supplies lists enveloped Clipper chamomile bags; this is a near-size catering option, not an exact 240-bag match.

What to check |
Your needs |
| Tea type |
Read the tea type, ingredients and caffeine description. Tesco describes its 240 Teabags 750g carton as black tea, whereas Clipper describes its Organic Chamomile Infusion as naturally caffeine-free. |
I want a clearly identified herbal infusion for a late supper, not just any box with 240 tea bags. |
| Bag count |
Check whether the count applies to one carton or several packs. Organic Bargains lists 240 Cafe Tea peppermint bags; Twinings sells Sleep in boxes of 40, and UK Catering Supplies lists 250 Clipper chamomile bags. |
Is one exact-size box important, or would six smaller boxes or a slightly larger catering carton work for me? |
| Flavour after supper |
Compare peppermint, chamomile and blended ingredients rather than relying on a bedtime name. Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust says peppermint can provoke reflux. |
If mint has aggravated my reflux before, I would choose another flavour before committing to a large quantity. |
| Herb list |
Read the complete ingredients, especially for valerian or liquorice root. Yogi Tea UK lists valerian root in Bedtime; ASDA lists liquorice root in Pukka Night Time Berry. NHS pregnancy guidance advises avoiding teas containing liquorice root. |
I want to check the actual blend against any ingredients I need to avoid, rather than assume every herbal tea suits everyone. |
| Serving and storage |
Check whether bags are enveloped and how many cartons you will receive. Twinings says its 40-bag Sleep box is not individually enveloped; the Clipper catering listing describes enveloped bags. |
For guests, individual envelopes may matter more to me than an exact 240-bag total. At home, I may prefer fewer cartons to store. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming 240 tea bags means herbal tea
Tesco describes its 240 Teabags 750g product as black tea bags, so the count alone does not answer a caffeine-free herbal-tea brief.
Check the tea type and ingredient list before ordering a large carton.
-
Reading ‘sleep’ as a treatment promise
A bedtime name does not establish that a tea treats insomnia. The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says evidence on whether valerian helps with sleep problems is inconsistent.
Choose a bedtime blend for its ingredients and flavour, rather than treating it as a remedy for persistent sleep problems.
-
Buying peppermint in bulk before considering reflux
Organic Bargains lists a 240-bag peppermint-only product, but Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust says peppermint can provoke acid reflux.
If peppermint has triggered your symptoms, consider another flavour instead of committing to 240 bags.
-
Assuming every herbal blend is suitable for everyone
Bedtime blends have different herb lists. For example, ASDA lists liquorice root in Pukka Night Time Berry, and NHS pregnancy guidance advises avoiding teas containing liquorice root.
Read the full ingredients and ask a pharmacist, midwife or clinician about suitability if pregnancy, breastfeeding or medicines are relevant to you.
Brand and product-line references
These examples show why bag count and ingredients need checking at product level; a brand name alone does not identify a suitable late-supper carton.
Twinings
A smaller-box route for buyers who want the Superblends Sleep infusion.
- Twinings describes its 40-bag Sleep box as naturally caffeine-free.
- The 40 bags are not individually enveloped, and six boxes are needed to total 240 bags.
Clipper
A chamomile option with a separately listed near-size catering format.
- Clipper describes its Organic Chamomile Infusion as 100% chamomile and naturally caffeine-free; UK Catering Supplies lists 250 enveloped Clipper chamomile bags.
- The catering listing is for 250 bags, not 240. Check the ingredients and packaging details of the carton you intend to order.
Pukka
A smaller-box choice for those considering the Night Time Berry blend.
- Pukka lists Night Time Berry in a 20-bag size.
- ASDA’s ingredient listing includes liquorice root. NHS pregnancy guidance advises avoiding teas containing liquorice root.
Yogi Tea
A multi-herb Bedtime infusion sold in a small carton.
- Yogi Tea UK lists 17 bags per box, naturally caffeine-free status and valerian root at 6%.
- Many boxes would be needed for a large supply. The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says evidence for valerian’s usefulness for sleep problems is inconsistent.
Teapigs
A small-format alternative when the Sleepy Apple ingredients appeal more than a catering carton.
- Teapigs lists apple pieces, chamomile flowers and lavender flowers in its naturally caffeine-free Sleepy Apple tea.
- The listed pack contains 15 tea temples, so reaching 240 requires multiple packs.
Tesco
A useful reminder to distinguish bag count from tea type.
- Tesco describes its 240 Teabags 750g product as black tea bags, not a herbal infusion.
Joybuy options for building a supply

Twinings Pure Peppermint 80 Pack
For someone who already enjoys peppermint after supper, three 80-bag packs would total 240 bags if that quantity can be ordered. This is not one 240-bag carton. Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust says peppermint can provoke reflux, so consider another flavour if it has triggered your symptoms.

Twinings Superblends Sleep 20 Single Tea Bags 30g
For buyers who prefer a bedtime-style blend, twelve 20-bag packs would total 240 bags if that quantity can be ordered and stored. This is a different pack size from Twinings’ 40-bag Sleep box. Choose it by its ingredients and flavour, not as an insomnia treatment.

Questions about late-night herbal tea
Is Tesco’s 240-teabag carton a herbal tea?
No. Tesco describes its 240 Teabags 750g product as black tea bags. If you want a herbal infusion for late suppers, check the tea type and ingredients rather than relying on the number of bags.
Can a sleep-labelled tea treat insomnia?
Do not treat its name as a treatment claim. A blend may suit a wind-down routine, but the US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says evidence on valerian’s usefulness for sleep problems is inconsistent.
Is peppermint a good choice after supper if I have reflux?
Peppermint may be a poor choice if it has triggered your symptoms before. Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust says peppermint can provoke acid reflux, so consider another flavour before buying a large pack.
When should I check a bedtime blend’s herbs more carefully?
Check the full list when pregnancy, breastfeeding or medicines are relevant to you, and ask a pharmacist, midwife or clinician about suitability. NHS pregnancy guidance specifically advises avoiding teas containing liquorice root and drinking no more than four cups of herbal tea a day during pregnancy.
