Tea related query

    Hi chaps,

    I recently moved to Ireland, and I noticed the tea here needs a lot longer to brew to acquire a similar taste. I used to brew tea for around 2 minutes, but here its over 5 or 6.

    I tried brands like Lyons Gold and Yorkshire Tea, but always have the same problem - so I assume it's the tap water, not the actual tea.

    Are my taste buds deceiving me, or do I need to buy a water filter?

    It's likely to do with the water.. Irish tea blends are usually stronger. I'd also recommend Barry's.
