What supermarket own brands do Barry's make tea for?

Morby

I seem to recall reading on a thread on here a few years ago (something like what do you know because of your job that you wouldn't otherwise know, something like that anyhow or to that effect!) about Barry's making tea for some supermarket own brands.

So, just wondering if anyone knows what supermarket own brand tea is made by Barry's, or is there any truth in this at all?

How about Lyons? Do they make tea for the supermarkets own brands?

Funds are tight and I'm looking to cut back, so some savings on teabags would be much appreciated.

Stopped buying Lyons recently as they were always busting in the teapot.

Just because a company makes an own brand doesn't mean that they use the same quality of ingredients. Own brand bread is made by the same bakeries that make branded bread but is never as fresh or last as long.

Get yourself a tea strainer and buy loose tea, you'll never go back. Get one like this that immerses fully into the cup so you can judge the strength a bit better.

I got a 500g tin of Campbell's tea for about €5 on special offer in Tesco a few weeks back and it's waaaay cheaper than tea bags, tastes better as well IMHO. I see it here for €7.99.

I only drink wild Darjeeling gathered by an order of celibate monks in the foothills of Mount Kangchenjunga by the light of the full moon.
