    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.

    Barry's. I've tried the Lyons and it's too watery.

    Its the cow manure they add to it that makes it watery :pac:

    Christmas orienteering suggestion for all the proud drinkers of "Irish" Barry's tea, why not go out and look for those swathes of home-grown tea plantations this weekend, maybe start in cork?

    I'll have a cup of Tetley's while you're out.

    Robert Roberts tea for me. Brewed to within an inch of its life and just a tiny bit of milk.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Tetley's. Or Earl Grey if I'm missing England more than usual.

    I can't stand people who bring their favourite tea on holiday to remind them of home.

    There are only two types of tea. Strong tea and weak tea.

    I'll take whatever is going. As long as the cup isn't half filled with milk it's a fine cup of tea.

    What's interesting is the preference for certain varieties of tea in Ireland ...
    English breakfast: ... Originally a China black tea but now frequently includes a strong Ceylon tea component. May also include teas from Assam, Africa, and/or Indonesia.

    Irish breakfast: More robust than English breakfast. Generally has a strong Assam component, giving it a malty flavor.

    No point in having these threads OP.

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

    Tayto won ffs ... :

    You should check out the last time a Co. Cork product was put up for evaluation in AH. (Hint - it was a variety of relish). The thread achieved a significant amount of red / yellow cards within the first half dozen posts....

    Lyons tea is by a mile the best tasting drink in existence, Barry's is only the best of all the other rubbish brands

    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.

    That's just in the Pale sure.

    :p
