Twinings launches limited edition festive tea blends

Product details:

The three new blends, created especially for Winter 2012, are 'Christmas Tea', 'Warming Winter and 'Vanilla Chai':

Christmas Tea is described as a 'rich and aromatic blend' which mixes Christmas spices and a full-bodied Assam tea. Warming Winter is a caffeine-free option blended with Rooibos, orange and cinnamon spice. Vanilla Chai blends black tea with spices and sweet vanilla.

USP:

All three teas are supplied in limited-edition commemorative tins which, together with the tea blends, Twinings says will give operators a premium point of difference to their tea offering during the festive season.

Price:

The price for the foodservice trade can differ between stockists depending on the size and type of order - buyers are advised to contact their local stockist directly.

Availability:

All three blends will be available in November in a pack of four premium festive envelopes each containing 20 string and tag tea bags or a six-pack of 100g loose tea caddies. The blends come in limited-edition, collectable gifting tins. 

Twinings Chai Tea Latte (8 Servings), 16-Count T-Discs for Tassimo ...
