    So then, inspired by another thread - Barry's or Lyons?

    I'm shocked people don't drink Barrys. Best tea.

    Typhoo.
    If that's not available, Tetleys.
    If that's not available either, I don't really mind the brand.

    I love Tetleys, Lyons and McGraths from Aldi.

    I usually get the bag of 440 teabags from Dunnes for about 6 but they haven't had them for ages so I've settled for Lyons original blend. Must get a box of McGraths when I'm in Aldi next.

    Barry's tea holding onto a marginal lead here.
    I'm surprised, the majority I speak to in person are Lyons drinkers.
    Every office I've worked in has been Lyons tea.
    I bring my own box of Barry's to work.

    Barrys for the win! Lyons doesn't even come close. Barrys makes a nice strong cuppa not like a lot of the other brands with their weak pish water!

    Is Barrys more of a country thing?

    I am a little biased towards Barrys because it is a wholly owned Irish company. Its nice to support it.

    I only live 3 miles from the factory in Cork :p
