    I like rooibos first then
    Lemon and ginger (sometimes with honey)
    Fennel
    Very weak (wave the teabag over the cup weak) black tea.

    No milk, no sugar.

    You realise you're trying to impress anonymous people on the internet by saying you're too cool to drink tea?

    I don't drink wine and I love having tea with my Gran.

    I'd put money on my Gran being more craic than most people who'd talk about wine.

    Punjana normally.
    I prefer assam tea leaves, so any Irish brand is grand.

    McGraths Reserve Blend.

    Perfect in the morning before heading out for the day.

    Peppermint tea I guess. I only drink it to calm me down after too much coffee.

    Barry's (Red and Pink boxes, I think the pink one is cheaper and the proceeds go to cancer aware or something like that).

    Punjana (Northern Irish version or UK version)

    Twinnings Earl Grey

    And Lavazza for my coffee.

    Do people still think there's much of a difference? Most people wouldnt be able to tell the difference between Lyons and Barrys although these two do have a slightly better taste then the other normal teabag brands. difference between tea is like the difference between which bottled water brand to go for...they all taste almost exactly the same

    Between big brand tea bags - hardly any difference. Robert Roberts Organic Kenyan Black tea bags are a cut above but properly brewed loose leaf tea is the only way to get the full experience.

    I like Barrys and Lyons but my favourite has to be Barrys (any brand caffeinated/decafe or green tea!) :) Own brand of teas like supervalu and lidl are grand too.

    Wish we had a David's Tea in Ireland. They're all over Canada and have so many blends.

    Particularly a fan of "Mother's Little Helper" for a pre bed tea. They put something in it to help you sleep.

    Voted Barry's but I'd happily take Lyons. No huge difference in those two tbf. Can't ever remember having Bewleys, Twinnings or the rest.

    I like the chai stuff. The loose tea is also superior to the teabags, which are nearly sour with the strenght of them.

    Always time for tea :D
