There is something about the shift in seasons that changes the way we drink tea. The days grow longer, a balmy wind tickles the skin and the light softens into something altogether more golden. Gone is the urge to seek comfort in heavy, malty brews, and what we reach for instead is something lighter, brighter and more in keeping with long-awaited summer bliss.
Spring and summer are a wonderful time to explore a different side of your pantry. Whether you are easing into a slower morning, pausing for an afternoon reset or winding down as the evening stretches on, there is a Twinings blend to suit every moment of the day.

A Gentle Start
The warmer months are perfect for those slow mornings, sipping tea out on the patio: a softer kind of morning.
Twinings Lady Grey is a beautiful choice for those who love a traditional black tea but want something a little more delicate. Softer and lighter than Earl Grey, with a citrus bergamot character that feels perfectly suited to a bright morning, it contains caffeine and offers a gentle, considered start to the day.
For something with a little more lift, Twinings Peach & Orange Green Tea brings a fruity brightness alongside a light caffeine boost. Uplifting and naturally sweet, it is the kind of cup that makes you feel good about the day to come.
Twinings Pure Green Tea is another excellent morning companion. Lighter than a traditional breakfast tea and rich in antioxidants, it provides a gentle caffeine hit without any heaviness, making it ideal for those who want to feel alert without the intensity of a stronger brew.
The Reset Cup
As the day settles into its rhythm, a mid-morning or afternoon tea can be one of its small, quiet pleasures in your daily ritual.
Twinings Green Tea & Jasmine is one of the most elegant choices in the summer repertoire. The floral jasmine aroma creates a genuinely calming experience, and with a gentle caffeine content, it is ideal for those afternoon moments when you want to pause rather than power on.
Twinings Mango & Strawberry Green Tea brings a tropical warmth to the table. Sweet, fruity and thoroughly uplifting, it contains a light amount of caffeine and feels like a joyful indulgence in the middle of a busy day.
For a more invigorating reset, Twinings Green Tea with Mint delivers a cooling finish alongside gentle caffeine. It is particularly lovely in the warmer months when you want something that feels as refreshing as it is warming.
For Digestive Comfort
Twinings Lemon & Ginger is a herbal infusion and completely caffeine free, making it a wonderfully versatile choice throughout the day. The fresh citrus profile combined with the gentle warmth of ginger makes it a natural choice after meals or whenever you want something soothing and settling.
Long before ginger found its way into our spice racks and smoothies, it was being used as a natural remedy for digestive discomfort. Its reputation for settling the stomach is well earned and well documented, and a cup of lemon and ginger tea remains one of the simplest and most effective ways to support your digestive wellbeing.
Caffeine-Free Choices for the Twilight Hours
As the day begins to wind down, reaching for a caffeine-free option becomes an easy and enjoyable ritual.
Twinings Raspberry & Pomegranate is a fruit infusion and entirely caffeine free. Deep berry flavours make it a satisfying alternative to heavier drinks, and its vibrant character means it never feels like a compromise.
Twinings Cranberry & Raspberry is another caffeine-free fruit infusion with a sharper, more complex fruit profile. It is a lovely choice for those who prefer something a little less sweet, and works beautifully as a mid-afternoon pause or a light evening drink.
The Night Time Ritual
Few things signal the end of a day quite as gently as the right cup of tea, with many tea drinkers preferring to avoid the stimulation provided by caffeine.
Twinings Camomile, Honey & Vanilla is naturally caffeine free and widely regarded as one of the most comforting evening infusions available. The soft sweetness of honey and vanilla alongside the gentle, familiar warmth of camomile creates a ritual that feels restorative rather than merely habitual. It is the kind of cup you make slowly, deliberately, and savour completely.
A Note on Caffeine
For ease of reference, the green teas and Lady Grey in this selection all contain caffeine, while the herbal and fruit infusions are naturally caffeine free. As a general guide, green teas are best enjoyed in the morning and afternoon, while the herbal and fruit infusions are ideal from mid-afternoon onwards, particularly if you are sensitive to caffeine in the evenings.
Your Summer Tea Routine
The beauty of a summer tea collection is that it can follow you through the whole day, from the first quiet cup of the morning to the last sip before bed. Each blend serves a different mood, a different moment and a different need, and building a small selection that covers your day is one of the simplest and most enjoyable ways to bring a little more intention into your daily routine.
