A Tea Break Collaboration
The latest design to emerge from UK Snack Attack pairs two of the most established names in the British cupboard: McVitie’s and Twinings. The concept proposes a milk chocolate digestive biscuit infused with the flavour of Earl Grey tea. It’s a combination that feels both logical and long overdue, uniting the country’s default biscuit with its default mid-afternoon hot drink.
The packaging mockup uses the classic McVitie’s tube format, updated with the Twinings logo and a colour scheme that blends the iconic red of the biscuit brand with the black and gold of the tea maker. The caption that accompanied the image online was simple: “Earl Grey Chocolate Digestives! McVitie’s and Twinings, yes please!” This is less a radical invention and more a quiet fusion of two titans of the weekly shop.
The McVitie’s Range
McVitie’s has one of the most sprawling and varied product lines in UK supermarkets. Its territory covers everything from simple, unadorned biscuits to complex cake bars and flapjacks. At one end of the spectrum are the fundamentals: Ginger Nuts Biscuits, Fruit Shortcake, and the venerable Rich Tea Classic. These are the mainstays, the biscuits that have been around for decades.
Further along the shelf, the range becomes more elaborate. It includes the citrus-and-chocolate Jaffa family, which has recently expanded to include Jaffa Cookies and a Yuzu Lemon variant on the original Jaffa Cakes. Then there are the oat-based Hobnobs, now available as Oaty Flapjacks, and even licensed crossovers like the McVitie’s Milky Way Cake Bars. An Earl Grey Digestive would add a distinctly aromatic, almost perfumed note to a lineup that currently prioritises fruit, oat, and caramel flavours.
Tea-Infused Chocolate
The flavour profile itself is well-established in the world of premium confectionery. Independent chocolatiers have been infusing chocolate with the bergamot oil that defines Earl Grey for years, often pairing it with dark chocolate to balance the floral notes. Seeing it applied to a mass-market milk chocolate digestive is the main twist here.
It would represent a small but significant shift for the biscuit aisle, moving a flavour usually found in specialist shops into a product format that sells by the million. The idea bridges the gap between a standard chocolate digestive and the more experimental side of the snack market.
What the real range looks like
The real McVitie’s range is extensive, including everything from McVitie’s Rich Tea Classic Biscuits and Ginger Nuts to McVitie’s Jaffa Cookies and White Digestives. This Earl Grey concept would sit alongside the standard chocolate versions while offering a more complex flavour profile, closer in spirit to the Jaffa Cakes Yuzu Lemon edition.

- Yes, infusing chocolate with tea is a well-known technique, particularly in artisanal and high-end chocolate. Earl Grey is a popular choice for this, but it is much less common to see it used in a mass-market supermarket biscuit.
