Although the product is still listed on major supermarket websites, such as Asda, it is no longer available to add to shopping baskets
Dark Caramel Tea was described as a luxurious black tea blend infused with the rich, indulgent flavours of toffee and golden syrup.
Brewed in just three minutes, it is best enjoyed black or with a splash of milk, including hazelnut milk for an extra creamy finish.
However, the product's axe was confirmed after a customer asked Twining's on X (formerly Twitter).

Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK?
This isn't the only tea flavour Twinings has discontinued in recent months.
In October, the iconic tea brand also retired its Inner Strength teabags.

After learning of its discontinuation, one fan wrote on X: "That's a shame. It was a thing of beauty."
The same user had previously quizzed the brand on where the teabags had gone, typing: "@TwiningsUK hello there. Do you still sell the inner strength tea bags please.
"I can't seem to find them anywhere anymore."

To this, a spokesperson confirmed: "We're sorry to let you know that our Inner Strength has been discontinued and we have sold through all our remaining stock."
It came shortly after a popular Yorkshire Tea product was also axed - Toast and Jam teabags.
The gradual phase-out of the comforting brew left customers desperately scrambling for one last box.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

How to create privacy in your garden CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden: 1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy. 2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier. 3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution. 4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
