    No point in having these threads OP.

    There was one before asking people to chose between "King" or "Tayto".

    Tayto won ffs :mad::mad::mad:

    Barry's is Irish owned, Irish produced, and makes a good strong cup of tea.

    Lyons is Dutch owned, produced in Manchester, and makes a cup that resemles dish water in apparence and taste.


    People who like Lyons have no taste buds.

    A lot of people seem to be opting these days for fancy brit brands that always seem a little too up their own hole like Twinings.

    Tasteless muck for the most part.

    Barry's for decaf tea. Easily the best. Lyons for normal tea.

    Growing up at home we always drank Barry's.

    Coffee drinker.

    But on the few occasions I want a cup of tea, it would be Barrys over Lyons. As already mentioned, that McGrath's tea from Aldi is also grand tack.

    Got into drinking Earl Grey, handy to have it if one has run out of milk. Started on Aldi Earl Grey and though I would 'upgarde' to Twinings only to find it wasn't as flavoursome as the Aldi version which is about 1/3 the price.

    I used to use Bewley's up until recently when I couldn't find them in the shop so I bought Barry's. Well holy mother of god it was as though someone took my ice cold heart and gave it a warm hug. No going back now.

    Lyons is just another foreign tea.Why is it still even being compared with Barrys.

    Neither, they have little flavour and too much bitterness.
    I used to drink Typhoo, but recently changed to Yorkshire tea. Lots of flavour, a bit malty when you add milk, and just all-round lovely.

    Lyons.

    They usually get Barry's in work, tried it and it looked and tasted like ditchwater. Never again.

    Tip: if you're on holiday and can't get Lyons look for PG Tips. Exact same stuff.

    Life ain't always empty.

    I often thought how loony the Americans were when they dumped out their tea into the sea. Damn right there should be a tea tax, heathens.

    Barry's. I've tried the Lyons and it's too watery for me so much that i got changed and went up to the shop to get barry's. Lyons is great if you like weak,watery tea otherwise not so much. I even found the supervalu own brand gold blend tastes nicer then the lyons.
