Choose an 80-bag green tea box if ready-to-brew portions matter more than serving matcha: the Twinings 80-bag product listed by Waitrose & Partners contains green tea, not matcha. If matcha is part of the guest offer, check the ingredients and preparation method instead; the matcha-containing tea bags and powder portions described here come in smaller packs and are not interchangeable.
An 80-bag green tea box suits a room service plan built around a stated portion count and simple infusion, provided the guest offer does not promise matcha. Waitrose & Partners lists Twinings Pure Green Tea as 80 bags containing 100% green tea.
Check whether the product is matcha powder or a tea blend containing some matcha. Clearspring lists 2.5% matcha in its Matcha Sencha sachets; the Clearspring Matcha Shot listed by Waitrose & Partners is 100% matcha powder and needs mixing rather than ordinary bag infusion.
Keep ingredient and allergen information for the precise product placed in rooms accessible to guests and relevant staff. Food Standards Agency guidance for England, Wales and Northern Ireland says retail and catering food businesses must provide allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink.
Decide what the room offer must contain, then check the portion count and whether guests can prepare it with the equipment provided.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Matcha content | Read the ingredient list and matcha percentage. Clearspring lists 2.5% matcha in Matcha Sencha sachets; Waitrose & Partners lists its Matcha Shot as 100% matcha powder. | I want the room description to distinguish a matcha-containing tea blend from matcha powder. |
| Portion count | Check the declared number of usable portions and the pack configuration. Waitrose & Partners lists 80 Twinings green tea bags and eight Clearspring Matcha Shot portions; Clearspring lists 20 Matcha Sencha sachets. | Housekeeping needs a count it can use for replenishment, without treating an 80-bag green tea box as an 80-bag matcha box. |
| In-room preparation | Check the water volume, preparation instructions and utensils needed. Waitrose & Partners gives a 200 ml, three-minute infusion for Twinings green tea; its Clearspring Matcha Shot instructions call for whisking the powder into hot water. | Guests should be able to make the drink using the cup, kettle and utensils in the room. |
| Guest information | Use the ingredient and allergen information for the product actually supplied. Food Standards Agency guidance for England, Wales and Northern Ireland requires retail and catering food businesses to provide allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink. | If a product changes, I need guest-facing information and staff records to match the replacement pack. |
Clearspring lists its Matcha Sencha sachets as 97.5% sencha and 2.5% matcha. The Pukka Mint Matcha Green ingredient list published by Waitrose & Partners includes 2% matcha alongside sencha and mint.
Check the full ingredient declaration and describe a blend to guests as a matcha-containing tea, not as 100% matcha.
The Twinings 80-bag product listed by Waitrose & Partners contains 100% green tea. Its count does not make it a matcha product.
If both matcha and an 80-portion supply are required, check a current product specification or supplier case configuration for both conditions.
The Clearspring Matcha Shot instructions published by Waitrose & Partners call for whisking powder into hot water, rather than steeping a tea bag.
Try the preparation instructions with the actual room cup, kettle and available utensils before placing powder portions in rooms.
Changing the product can leave guests and staff relying on information for a different pack. Food Standards Agency guidance requires allergen information for food and drink supplied by retail and catering food businesses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Update the accessible ingredient and allergen information using the delivered product label whenever the supplied product changes.
Its Matcha Sencha sachets and Matcha Shot powder portions illustrate two different ways to include matcha in a hotel-room offer.
Mint Matcha Green is a flavoured tea-bag option when a mint blend is the intended guest offer.
Pure Green Tea is an example for hotels prioritising an 80-bag tea format over matcha content.
Teapigs has a UK matcha category for buyers considering a specialist matcha product.
These Perfectted sachets are options for portioning matcha powder in guest rooms, not 80-bag steeping-tea boxes. Check the delivered bundle count and how guests would prepare a portion before choosing a room supply.

A portioned powder format for a room offer described as matcha rather than green tea bags. The title specifies 7 × 1.5 g sachets and four packs; confirm the total delivered sachet count and try the preparation method with the room’s cup and utensils. Use the delivered pack for current ingredient and allergen information.

Seven individually portioned powder sachets suit a plan to offer matcha rather than an 80-bag tea box. Check the pack’s preparation instructions against the room’s cup and utensils, and use its current ingredient and allergen information for guest and staff records.
No. Waitrose & Partners lists Twinings Pure Green Tea as 80 bags containing 100% green tea. For a matcha offer, check the ingredients and format: Clearspring lists a 20-sachet sencha blend with 2.5% matcha, while its Matcha Shot listed by Waitrose & Partners contains eight portions of 100% matcha powder.
Four retail boxes provide 80 sachets, based on Clearspring’s stated count of 20 per box. Confirm the pack configuration and purchasing terms before using multiple boxes for room replenishment.
Check the particular product’s instructions against the room setup. The Clearspring Matcha Shot instructions published by Waitrose & Partners call for whisking a portion into hot water; try the actual cup, kettle and available utensils before offering it in rooms.
Food Standards Agency guidance for England, Wales and Northern Ireland says retail and catering food businesses must provide allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink. Keep information for the exact product supplied accessible to guests and relevant staff, and update it when the product changes.
Use the label on the delivered product to maintain ingredient and allergen information for that pack. Recheck it after a product substitution rather than assuming an earlier listing still describes what guests receive.
