    Probably the right answer. An amazing hangover curer too.

    White Tea (Camellia sinensis), organic, non-bleached. Hand picked by blessed virgins from Eastern Nepal whist in a peaceful meditative state to increase pekoe and polyphenols values. Dashed with tumeric, ginger and honey (all organic), and occasionally a sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt. The distilled water is boiled in copper Chinese singing bowl vessel attuned to 528hz for several minutes.

    Don't believe the high street vendors offer such a beverage.

    Would also be prone to the odd pint of Guinness.

    Barrys Green Blend.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 26,424 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peregrine

    Doesn't matter if you are going to ruin it with milk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    The one drunk by most readers of Ireland's favourite newspaper.


    I don't like any tea really. I just drink it to be sociable. The all taste the same to me.

    No flipping messing here, it's Barry Gold Blend all the way

    Unless I'm in a delicate mood, then I might have a mint tea or green tea

    I think Barry's is a bit stronger than Lyons? (Could be just in my head though). I wouldn't be suprised if most people couldn't tell which tea was which in a blind taste test - I know I can't (have done it between barrys and aldi mcgraths tea and got it wrong). I've been drinking Barry's (red box) for years and I'm happy to stick with it. Drop of milk, no sugar except when hungover and it's 2 or 3 teaspoons, makes things a bit better! Surely the source of water used to make the tea is the main factor that determines what it tastes like, no? The tea was disgusting in a place I used to work, whatever was up with the tapwater (although they used "Fallons" tea from Lidl so maybe that had something to do with it!)

    Moroccan Mint from Java Republic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,069 ✭✭✭✭LordSutch


    God be with the days when there were only three teas available during "the Emergency".

    Nowadays (in the 21st century) we do of course have a much greater selection.

    Punjana.
