    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.

    I tried Yorkshire Gold and liked it.

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

    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.

    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 :)

    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...

    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

    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.

    Mains water destroys tea for me. Chlorine and fluoride can be overpowering sometimes. Living in the countryside with well water, tea tastes so different to the tea you'd get in urban areas.
