I just drank a cup of Barrys and I liked it

WoollyRedHat

I feel like such a dirty whore, like I just slept with half the town in one whole day.

For years and years we drank Lyons tea, and then one day these lads who were working in our house had the audacity to decide to bring their unholy and disgusting Barry Tea Bags into our residence.A staunch Lyons house I might add, it would have been equivalent to a Catholic lad brininging a Protestant girl to meet his granny. It wouldn't be tolerated. Anyway, it was left in the house, I was really dying for a cuppa, and all we had was that goddamn Barrys and it was late and I was tired. So I agreed to have it, really I must have been bad, and I know I should of just waited and bought Lyons, which I knew to be beautiful but I needed some tea, any tea, and Barrys was there, in my hour of need.

I said to myself, I know I won't like it, it's just one cup of tea, it won't mean anything. But then as I cupped that cup and drank it up, I got a warm, nice feeling inside, and my tastebuds became alive, I was receiving pleasure, drinking Barrys. And I know it's wrong and I know I shouldn't have done it, not after 20 years of Lyons and it being there for me when it mattered, on those cold and dark days in the depths of winterk, but I did, and I liked it.
I really enjoyed it.

Now my problem is, there's half a box still left and I'm thinking about tea again and it's about Barrys tea. Not Lyons. I feel so dirty, pure infidelity I'm having an identity crisis.. help!

Yep, its an average day in After Hours!

Barry's definitely taste a little bit more like tea, and have less of the whole paper and glue taste thing going on than Lyon's.

I don't know if Lyons will ever taste the same now though, I mean, now that I've had Barrys. Oh God, I dunno what to do, I feel bad.

Local-womanizer

Loose tea and a proper tae pot and screw the rest of that sh1te that oases for tea on the shelves of most shops!

You will never go back!

Was it hot?

The guy who left the tea bags behind that is.

Hot and so sweet.

Leaf tea or my granny would not let you into the house.

Barry's leaf tea is good... Assam/Darjeeling mix is better... 2/1 more Assam in the morning is good.

Taste lots of teas, do the dirt...

You dirty whore!

All tea tastes the same to me tbh.

Once they legalised sodomy, it was only a matter of time until this happened.

Console yourself with the fact that Barrys is Irish, Lyons is not

People like you need to sort yourselves out, and quickly, next thing you know you'll be buying ready made frozen chips instead of peeling and cutting potatoes , then one day a few years from now when your parked in a sleazy street picking up whores you'll be asking where did it all go wrong.....

Barry's is Irish.

Lyons isn't.


Drink Barry's.

It's a better tea anyway.

You cannot say that and say your Irish! Tea is like a religion! I'm a Barrys gold blend fella myself, and by god I love it!

One word... bewleys... Just putting it out there. You'll never drink anything else again

Ted_YNWA

I know people say you should try new things , but this is taking it a step too far..

what was it my uncle used to say never change.

Tea bags and underpants,



not sure what the second one was

I'm drinking a cup of tea now in celebration of this thread.

byhookorbycrook

Barrys is the real deal. Ask Anne!





It's an age thing.Let's see who knows.

I ran out of Barry's on Sunday and had to buy some Lyons in the local newsagent to get my fix of tae. I also feel degraded and dirty after the experience. I'm drinking some right now .

My non-tea drinking mother (I don't know how we're even related) brought this Bewley's crap into the house before. It was so rank Daddy nearly divorced her

It's one or the other. It's like a civil war thing. Someone just said Bewleys, don't tempt me. Maybe after being with Lyons for so long, I just need to try new tea. Maybe it's for the best.

Wait till you try Punjana and some cake.

Is she one of them foreign Mammies?

I have never heard of an Irish Mammy that didn't like a sup a tae......

Humans eh!

Seeing as its confessin' time.....
I love tea,
Darjeeling, black, in a china cup.
Or
Lyons Gold Blend (loose leaf), hot with milk.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

But,
recession and unemployment cut my grocery budget dramatically.
Got turned on to Super valu Gold(ish) label €1.49 for 80
Got to like it. Got to love it.
Today had literally a euro (€) left and needed tea.
Daily Basics Tay bagz 79 cents.
I bought them.
They are now sitting there looking back at me,
unopened, pristine,
eighty virgin cuppas calling to me.
Should I dare?
Dare I?

craving growing...
Maybe just one....

with a chocolate digestive,
to make it seem less sleazy.
(or more sleazy!)
what do I do?
What the hell do I do???


Oh BTW in response to the earlier poster who mentioned Aldi Tea, my friend owns a high class Restaurant and has a very select clientelle. They are very happy to pay through the nose for Aldi tea/coffee as long as its in a nice pot.
But I digress,

OP - you self proclaimed dirty whore. (try saying that without a little smile)

Drink your tea, be proud of your tea,
and remember,
no one ever went to their grave ever regretting having a second cup of tea, even Barry's.

Not foreign but her Granny was Protestant, seems the most likely explanation

Don't be drawing comparisons with some little dispute nobody's even heard of, tae is serious business. :mad:

At least these are all "Irish" brands... so it's kind of excusable.
We've got Typhoo and Tetleys at home. And lads, seriously, they beat everything else hands down. I'm sorry, but it had to be said.
