I'd love a cup of tea

zeusnero

For some reason I just started thinking of home and Ireland and tea. God I'd love a cup of tea. And not the crap tea they have over here with all their fancy flavours - just a nice bog bog standard cup of Barry's with a few drops of milk. Tea and a few Chocolate biscuits, say Cadbury's Shortcake. Ah jaysus, I'm getting depressed now. I miss Ireland

I agree, after drinking Lyons tea, Barry's tastes like the tea leaves are made of shedded old mans sock and cigarette ashes.

Personally i prefer Punjana tea bags.
Or lyons Gold Blend.

Hmm, gettin thirsty now...

Can you not bring tea back with you everytime you come home on holidays or get friends and relations to bring you some when they visit you.

Next you'll be looking for Suicre sugar. . .

Tea is rank! Coffee for the win! :cool:

Yeah, the Barrys love I do not get - Lyons ftw.

Lyons Kenya Blend:
A luxury blend for the tea connoisseur.

If your gonna drink tea get yourself some Twinings, something you dont have to load with sugar and milk to make it palatable.

Barrys for the sophisticated gentleman

Love cup of tea ! ! !

barrys is the best lyons is foul

I don't understand the lyons vs barrys debate.

I fcukin love a nice cup of tea but I would never tell the difference between any brand whether it be lyons, barrys or spar value.

It's all in the head i reckon.

I've a half empty box of Barry's in a press somewhere. My poor mum can't make a trip over to me without filling half her suitcase with tea bags

Before I developed my "super sensitive sophisticated palate" ,I would have tried all of the above.

Punjana MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!.

Nectar of the Gods!;)

Lyons tea is for losers! Barry's is where it's at, or the Lidl brand, or Aldi tea bags, or even Lyons actually, because they all taste pretty much the same.
The Tesco brand tea bags are a crime against hot beverages though.

Ouch! Ah come on now - no need to taunt and turn this into one of those 'Boardsie takes offence, tracks down offending boardsie and...', well you get where I'm going (might as well leave some work for the investigators

)

Should've thrown in a poll for the inevitable Lyons vs Barry's debate

Get someone to send you some teabags then. I carried around a bag of Lyons tea with me when I travelled around Australia.

Are you in the US?

You can get Irish tea all over the place, especially Barry's. Most supermarkets have a small Irish/British import section where you can get Barry's, Lyons, PG Tips (FTW), HP Brown Sauce, Digestive biscuits and Rich Teas (sometimes Jaffa cakes too) and a few other things. If your local or nearby supermarket doesn't have an import section you could try and find a World Market who would also have the above plus a whole range of sweets from back home.

If you can't buy it in a store somewhere you can order it online. We just order 480 bags of PG and 12 cans of Heinz from Amazon.

There is no need to suffer

Assam tea is the finest you peasants

Barrys Tea is the only one. Lyons tea is gack, absolutely horrible. I can tell the difference between Barrys & Lyons easily - I drink my tea black (no sugar) so it is really obvious.

A few years ago I convinced a girl I knew that the difference between Lyons and Barrys was because of FF & FG :eek::eek: The same way the split is between Times and Indo readers and loads of other Irish products. She hated the English with a passion and would only drink Lyons tea - so when we made her tea, we always used PG Tips, 6 months later when she found it out, she didn't speak to us for ages. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen; her reaction when she found out she had been drinking English teabags...

Lyons Kenya blend for me too. Nicest tea out there.

Punjana has a chemical aftertaste and Barrys is as musty as a tramps old sock!

Biscuit has to be those big chocolate chip and hazelnut cookies, totally can't remember the brand now but you get like 6 of them in a packet which is ridiculous but they are just so tasty.....
