    I switched from Barrys tea because something was giving me heartburn in my breakfast menu and I only eat toast and tea for breakfast so thought it must be the tea. This morning tried Twinnings. The packaging was all nice and pretty but the tea was not anything special. I think I wouldn't even know the difference between Barry's tea and Twinings and my wife actually said she prefers Barry's tea. Isn't twinnings tea supposed to be exceptional quality? I remember drinking the english breakfast Twinnings tea in Spain and it was expensive but delicious and really you felt that the money was well spent but here in Ireland it seemed inferior in quality. Even the teabags seem like poor quality.

    It's down to personal taste. I don't like Twinning but my wife won't drink anything else. She buys it here and in the UK and says there's no difference. And boy does she drink some amount of it

    I find that tea tastes different depending on the water that you make it with. I live in a very hard water area and my parents live in a soft water area and the same tea I always drink tastes totally different to me when I make it in their house.

    Maybe the water used to make the tea you had in Spain was different to the normal water in your area and that's why the tea tastes different.

    water could have something to do with it but drinking Twinnings after Barry's tea with the same water should reassure me that Twinnings is better quality tea. I could not really discern any difference between the two this week. Maybe Barrys tea is also just really good quality tea.

    Needs more water... Probably drain the pan after frying the chicken.
