    I'm a bit of a tea collector myself, I've tea from the four corners of the world. Day to day I'm happy enough with Lyons. I got some of the cheap stuff for a taste test and it was like liquid styrofoam.

    Lidl is just an excuse to give grumpy people jobs.

    The Aldi ones in the red box that won the best tea in the world award (or something). A very good, refreshing brew without the mad tannins of Lyons

    Whatever is on special offer in Tesco. I like very strong tea. At the moment its McGraths from Aldi which isn't bad. As a treat, I will have some Twinnings Earl Grey which is lovely to drink.

    Barrys, (in fairness I'm Corkonian) I find Lyons very bitter, Barrys has a rich quality to it.

    I used to always drink Lyons tea as thats whats at home. Until I moved to cork and didn't have mammy buying the tea. I now drink and love Barry's tea. Barry's gold blend, YUM.

    Typhoo.
    Aldi sometimes sell them, so we always make sure to stock up.

    Lyons, Barries, Tetleys. They're all good, and there isnt much difference between them. Also you HAVE to brew for at least 5 minutes before you're opinion on teabag flavours will be accepted :p
