What should you check before buying?
Decide how much tea you will use before choosing a jar: the container does not replace the tea, and pack sizes suit different patterns of use.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
| Jar and contents |
Check whether tea is included, what bag format fits and how the lid closes. Teapigs specifies an empty jar with a silicone-sealed lid and room for about 30–50 tea temples, depending on the blend. |
I want a jar for tea I will keep using, not a container in place of drinks for the gathering. |
| Flavour and caffeine |
Read the specific blend’s ingredients and caffeine description. Twinings describes Pure Peppermint as naturally caffeine-free; Teapigs Lemon & Ginger lists ginger, lemongrass, lemon peel and liquorice root. |
For an evening drink, I want a flavour my guests will choose, with the caffeine status checked for that particular tea. |
| Pack quantity |
Compare bag counts against expected use. Twinings sells Pure Peppermint in an 80-bag, 160 g pack, while Clipper lists a 20-bag Organic Peppermint pack. |
A smaller pack makes sense if I am trying a flavour for one gathering; I would consider more bags if the household will use them afterwards. |
| Labels and storage |
Check the final pack’s ingredients, highlighted allergens, storage instructions and best-before date. For its Lemon & Ginger tea, Teapigs advises cool, dry storage away from direct sunlight. |
If I transfer bags to a jar, I still need the pack information and a clean, completely dry container. |
Which brands offer relevant options?
These brand references help distinguish tea packs from storage accessories; they do not indicate which products are available on Joybuy.
Teapigs
A tea-temple range with a separate glass storage jar.
- Teapigs specifies a silicone-sealed wooden lid, dishwasher-safe glass and capacity for about 30–50 tea temples, depending on the blend.
- The jar is sold without tea; check that its capacity suits the tea format you buy.
Twinings
An option if you want a larger pack of plain peppermint tea.
- Twinings lists its Pure Peppermint as an 80-bag, 160 g pack and describes it as naturally caffeine-free.
- Consider whether you will use an 80-bag pack after the gathering.
Clipper
A smaller-pack route for shoppers considering a single-herb peppermint infusion.
- Clipper lists organically grown peppermint in its 20-bag Organic Peppermint Infusion and describes that product as naturally caffeine-free.
- Check other Clipper blends individually; this ingredient description applies to the named peppermint product.
Pukka
A brand to consider when comparing herbal blends rather than a plain peppermint tea.
- Tesco lists Pukka herbal tea alongside other fruit and herbal options.
- Check each blend’s ingredients on its own pack; botanicals differ between products.
Tesco
An own-brand route for comparing familiar herbal flavours and pack counts.
- Tesco lists own-brand 40-bag peppermint and lemon-and-ginger teas.
- Check the current product listing and final pack for the precise blend and quantity.

Questions about tea and jars
Does the Teapigs glass storage jar come with tea?
No. Teapigs states that its glass storage jar is sold empty. Buy tea separately if you need drinks to serve.
How much tea fits in the Teapigs jar?
Teapigs says it holds about 30–50 tea temples, depending on the blend. That figure is for tea temples; check the fit if you use another bag format.
What should I do before moving tea into a jar?
Use a clean, completely dry container and retain the original pack or record its ingredients, allergen information, storage instructions and best-before date. Teapigs advises keeping its Lemon & Ginger tea cool, dry and away from direct sunlight.
Are all herbal teas caffeine-free?
Do not assume that from the category name. Twinings describes Pure Peppermint, Clipper describes Organic Peppermint and the Teapigs Lemon & Ginger listing describes that particular blend as naturally caffeine-free; check the product you intend to serve.
What allergen information should I check?
Check the final pack’s ingredients and any precautionary allergen statement. GOV.UK guidance says prepacked-food labels must emphasise any of the 14 regulated allergens present in the ingredients list.
