10 Best Cold Infusion Teabags UK | Twinings Teapigs and More)

Topping our list is Twinings' multi-packs of cold water infusion pyramids. These teabags infuse effectively and use vibrant flavour combinations to give your water some much needed pizzazz. Each recyclable tub contains 12 bags, making this a sensible choice for larger households or single souls who love variety. 

The rose lemonade would work well for a jug of iced tea shared with friends, whereas the blueberry, blackcurrant and apple is fresh, without being too sweet. Not to mention the watermelon, mint and strawberry combo is essentially summer in a gulp. We'll drink to that!

To add a little caffeine boost to your water bottle, try these naturally sugar free, individually wrapped cold infusion tea bags from Liptons. The blend of green tea, mango and vanilla is sweet, bright and mood-boosting. Simply pop one bag into your bottle for 5 minutes to enjoy tasty hydration all day! 

These little bags can endure a day of tap-water refills without falling apart, and the filter paper they're made from can be composted with ease. The rectangular shape means they might take a little longer to infuse, but the flavour is second to none. 

We particularly like Tetley's mango and passion fruit cold brew teabags as they're sweet, tangy and remain much closer to the actual fruit flavour than a lot of herbal teas seem to manage. The price is brilliant and these bags can also be enjoyed hot if you fancy it. 

They work splendidly in a jug with some fresh mint leaves and ice cubes. But, the best bit about these tea bags is that, despite being totally biodegradable, they can survive a day of water bottle refills better than most other filter-paper tea bags. Perhaps it's Tetley's years of experience, or a sprinkle of magic?

We like these tea bags because they infuse cold water with a bright, fresh citrus flavour in five minutes. They contain aromatic Kenyan black tea leaves, along with a powerful kick of lemon and lime. Produced by a family run business, there's a reason this tea has glowing reviews online. 

Though it doesn't take long to imbue water with some zesty flavour, this product works even better when tea is left refrigerated overnight. The teabags are packaged in foil for freshness, and are themselves 100% compostable. 

These little tea bags boast all the goodness of matcha green tea. Not only is matcha an anti-oxidant, it also helps cleanse the liver and promotes healthy brain function. This pack of 7 may not be ideal for large families, but the sturdy cornstarch bags can be re-used, making a fortnight's worth of flavoured water if you're the only person enjoying them. 

Kiss goodbye to lacklustre hydration and boost your mood and energy levels at the same time. You may even want to try adding a squeeze of lemon juice to help enhance the striking matcha taste!

Another on our list with brilliant health benefits is this metabolism boosting tea from Twinings. It harnesses the benefits of watermelon, apple and matcha to speed up healthy digestion and burn calories effectively. Plus, the added zinc is great for protein synthesis and glowing skin. 

These bags can be left in your water bottle all day long and won't disintegrate or leak.  The pyramid shape allows for thorough infusion, leaving your water richly flavoured with no added nasties. It's just a shame that they won't decompose on a regular compost pile.

When we think cold tea, we think iced tea, and when we think iced tea, Liptons often comes to mind. Now you can enjoy their classic chilled sweetness with zero sugar.

A healthier way to serve up sunshine in a jug, it's boosted with a hint of green tea for a mild caffeine kick to get the day going. The individually foil wrapped pyramids last brilliantly in a water bottle, resulting in a handy and affordable way to enjoy iced tea without the calories. Yay!

OK... we've cheated a little bit here. This isn't a set of cold infusion tea bags, but rather a tin of palette-tickling powdered tea. For a delicious mouthful of summer, stir two heaped tea spoons into a jug of iced water and add some slices of lemon or lime. 

The 2 minute brewing time will suit even the most impatient among us. However, sugar is the number one ingredient, so this is a no-go if you've chosen cold infusion tea bags as a way to reduce your intake.

Twinings have really got sophisticated flavour blends down, and this is one of our favourites from their vitamin enriched range. This tea contains 75% of your recommended daily vitamin C allowance, with a complex blend of sweet mandarin and herbal rosemary. 

While Twinings' website states that their cornstarch bags can be composted, the reality is that they can't. You'll have to weigh up whether the brilliant flavour achieved using these super-fine pyramid infusers is as important to you as reducing your household waste.

We love Teapigs as they provide lots of intriguing flavours and aim to keep their packaging low. That's why you won't find any foil wrapping when you unpack this box of tasty cold brew tea bags. In particular, their lychee and rose blend is truly unique and tastes just as yummy hot, although it's freshest and sharpest over ice!

While the outer packaging is minimal and suitable for shredding onto a compost heap, the bags themselves will take decades to properly biodegrade. This is the biggest downside as it makes their branding appear more planet friendly than it truly is.
