For frequent shared drinking, choose a large single-flavour pack only when the household already uses that infusion regularly: Clipper Tea Shop lists 250 peppermint envelopes, while Twinings UK lists 80-bag camomile and lemon-and-ginger packs. If tastes vary, Pukka’s four-tea Herbal Collection offers a way to explore flavours before buying a larger pack. A jar can help organise tea, but keep the original product information accessible when decanting it.
If several people consistently choose peppermint, a larger single-flavour supply may mean buying it less often. Clipper Tea Shop lists a 250-envelope peppermint infusion; that quantity makes more sense when the household is confident it will use the flavour.
For repeat camomile or lemon-and-ginger drinkers, Twinings UK lists an 80-bag pack of each infusion. Check which flavour people actually choose before treating the two packs as interchangeable.
When preferences are still taking shape, Pukka’s Herbal Collection offers four organic teas to try. It serves a different purpose from a large supply of one established favourite.
Start with the flavours the household will use, then compare quantities and read the label of each blend.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack quantity | Compare the stated number of bags or envelopes with expected use. Clipper Tea Shop lists 250 peppermint envelopes; Twinings UK lists 80 bags for each of its Pure Camomile and Lemon & Ginger packs. | We drink the same infusion often enough to use a large single-flavour pack. |
| Flavour variety | Check whether a pack contains one infusion or several. Pukka describes its Herbal Collection as four organic teas, while the larger Clipper and Twinings formats listed here are flavour-specific. | Different people choose different blends, or we want to try flavours before stocking up. |
| Ingredients and caffeine | Read the exact blend’s ingredient list and caffeine declaration. Twinings UK describes its 80-bag Pure Camomile and Lemon & Ginger infusions as naturally caffeine free; Lemon & Ginger contains several ingredients, including ginger root and flavourings. | I want to know what is in the tea before choosing a blend to share. |
| Individual suitability | Check ingredients rather than assuming every herbal blend suits everyone. The British Heart Foundation says glycyrrhizin in liquorice root can raise blood pressure, so its presence matters when that is a concern. | Someone drinking the tea needs to check a particular ingredient or ask a healthcare professional about their circumstances. |
| Jar storage | If decanting tea, retain its original ingredient, allergen and best-before information. For UK retail and catering businesses, Food Standards Agency guidance requires allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink. | A jar would make the cupboard easier to organise, but we still need access to the pack information. |
Clipper Tea Shop’s 250-envelope format contains peppermint only. Its quantity is useful when that is already a regular household choice, not when preferences are uncertain.
Try a mixed collection or a smaller pack before committing to a large single-flavour supply.
Tea that goes unused also takes up cupboard space.
Blends have different ingredients. The British Heart Foundation specifically notes that glycyrrhizin in liquorice root can raise blood pressure.
Read the full label of the blend you intend to buy. If pregnancy, breastfeeding, a health condition or regular medicines raise a suitability question, ask an appropriate healthcare professional rather than relying on the words “herbal tea”.
A jar does not carry the pack’s ingredient and allergen information. UK Food Standards Agency guidance also requires retail and catering food businesses to provide allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink.
Keep the original pack or its complete label with household tea. If serving tea in a food business, maintain the product information needed to provide allergen information.
Twinings UK lists both Pure Camomile and Lemon & Ginger in 80-bag packs, but they are different infusions with different ingredients.
Settle on flavour and check the ingredient list before comparing quantities.

This 20g peppermint tea is a single product rather than a mixed selection. If quantity matters for a large household, check the pack’s bag or serving count before choosing it.
A jar is a storage choice, not a substitute for choosing a flavour and quantity the household will use. If you decant tea, keep its original ingredient, allergen and best-before information accessible.
Match quantity to an established flavour preference. Clipper Tea Shop lists 250 peppermint envelopes, while Twinings UK lists 80-bag Pure Camomile and Lemon & Ginger packs; if family members prefer different teas, consider trying a mixed collection before buying one flavour in quantity.
No; check the exact ingredients and the circumstances of the person drinking it. If pregnancy, breastfeeding, a health condition or regular medicines create a suitability concern, ask a healthcare professional rather than treating a herbal blend as medical advice.
The British Heart Foundation says liquorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which can raise blood pressure even in modest amounts. Check the ingredient list of the exact blend when blood pressure is a concern.
For UK retail and catering food businesses, Food Standards Agency guidance requires allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink. Keep product information traceable when decanting tea so the business can provide the required information.
