Favourite brand of tea

Fuzzytrooper

Inspired by the other tea related thread, which is your chosen brand?

Corvo

Lyons is the only one - Barrys is for Cork people and we all know they are a few sausages short of a fry up.

minion35

Either Lyons or Tetley. Barry's is a crock of ****e.

Kylo Ren

I buy the two.

The Barry's is for my friends and I. Lyon's is for the servants.

Shenshen

Typhoo.

Tetleys if Typhoo is unavailable.

Lipton English Breakfast

AnonoBoy

Whichever one is the cheapest in the supermarket at the exact moment that I'm reading the prices from the shelf.

It all tastes the same anyway, like wine, water and the various brands of Coca Cola.

Barry's are so far superior to the others its not even worth talking about.

Barrys loose tea cant be beaten

Fuzzytrooper

Lipton was invented possibly by Satan. Its really popular outside Ireland for some reason which makes travelling painful.

I can't the difference between tea brands either, unless it's specifically flavoured with something else in it. regular old tea though? all the same .

BoJack Horseman

Twinings , English breakfast.

I know... it's Barry's here at the office. Like over-stewed battery acid.

Oh yeah - regular tea, none of your fancy tea in the Anono household.

I would highly recommend you get yourself to a doctor at once.

Negative.

Bewleys Original Blend for me.

Fuzzytrooper

I've nothing against Bewleys, comparable to Lyons for me but it's still no match for Barry's awesome goodness.

On a side note I actulay wonder if there is a Mr Barry or a Mr Lyons in real life? Or is it all a marketing ploy....

I have a friend who's a Mr Barry. He used to always have generic Aldi tea at home.

I couldnt taste the difference between Lyons or Barrys and I'd say using a blind taste test most people couldnt either.

Fuzzytrooper

I find Barrys has a "deeper" flavour. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone else.

chakotha

Barrys always.

I must try Campbells sometime to see if it's any good.

Beano

twinings english breakfast for me as well. With the occasional Twinings Lady Grey as well.

caustic 1

Punjana...followed by Lyons if it's not available.

foxy farmer

Barrys teabags in the green box. Original blend I think. I find it refreshing. Got tea in the neighbours recently made with loose tea. Cue much coughing and spluttering when drinking the last mouthful. Had totally forgotten about tea leaves. Haven't seen loose tea being used in years.

efb

I likes my Lyons I drink Barrys too, hate Bewelys

Son Of A Vidic

Bewley's is my favourite brand.

Miss Lizzie Jones

Typhoo or Twinings Orange Pekoe.

I tried Yorkshire Gold and liked it.

Titzon Toast

Punjahna make lovely tea.
But LIDL's own brand gold label tea is actually lovely and tasty too.

The One Doctor

McGrath's Reserve from Aldi. Lyons and Barry's are for peasants.

scream

I find Lyons very mild, a tea for wimps I think. I'm currently doing Tetley Blue. There's a red one in England which i don't see here, which if you believe my stepdad is the only tea you'll ever need. Not sure just how much of a difference there is between the two really though.

demanufactured

Typhoo

Slunk

Lyons, Barry's, Bewleys and Aldi are all acceptable. PG Tips are ok with two teabags. Lipton ard just flavourless but its all in the brew. They all have slightly different flavours which I don't mind so long as its brewed long enough to get the flavour out. You'd be suprised how many people in work just pour the water in and straight away the milk. Leave it for at least two minutes before milk. And leave the teabag in for an awesome last sup

Twinnings green tea with Lemon

Le sigh. I have had many an argument with wife over what constitutes 'tea'. I suppose since this one contains actual tea leaves I'll let it pass but still...

Sunnyisland

Herbal/infusion teas for me.

cat_dog

Twinnings or Clipper

SweetChaos

McGraths Aldi brand Roberts Roberts make it and it is a lovely strong tea we drink a lot of tea in my house and 240 bags for 2.79 is a bargain

supersean1999

Just had a cup of some tesco value crap, its as weak as a used horn, if you like your tea avoid this,

Are you all teed of with them posters :-)

Balmed Out

Barrys all the way. This thread is really helping to show me who's opinions are so foolish to make them deserving of being added to my ignore list.

ToddyDoody

I prefer a cup of Larry's Gold Blend
