Barry's vs Lyons

Enough!...Barry's tea is clearly the superier tea here , I love it's golden texture, it's warm flavour...it's a man's tea and it doesn't need so many ad's on TV to convince us , it knows it's the superier brand. You'll only find Barry's tea in my house , Lyons is banned....so let's have it....

Barrys....

VS

Lyons.....:D

Bewleys or M&S Breakfast Blend for me.
Barrys leaves a bitter after taste IMO.

Clearly Barry's Gold Blend, everything else pales in comparison. (unless it's Earl Grey, of the hot kind).

On the rare occasion I drink tea, it's barry's. Otherwise it's 10 cups of coffee a day.

Barry's tastes more of tea and less of dust, thin paper and glue.

Dunnes tea is great!

1) golden texture ? really ? can you actually have colourful textures ?

2) warm flavor ? again, can something smell or taste warm ?

Did you imbibe some marketing guff along with your tea ?

McGrath's Tea in Aldi is very nice.

That pack in Lidl that looks a bit like Barrys or Lyons

Worked in a place where I was the only one out of twelve staff that liked barrys (it was a family business so that could have been why). They never bought barrys only stupid huge boxes of stupid lyons. It just wasnt the same..

earl grey. tastes like washing up liquid but it grows on you after a bit

iDave · 25-02-2013 01:08PM

Bought a tin of tea from Harrods 2 years ago. All tea since has been a dissapointment

I like tea and can/have drink anything from the finest to the stuff made in can over a fire and needing a fork to consume! However, given that my body's a temple, albeit a fairly decrepit one, I try to drink nothing but organic tea these days. Clipper http://www.clipper-teas.com/our-drinks/tea/fairtrade-everyday-tea is my current poison and at €3.54 for 40 teabags it's quite expensive but better for me and the planet. Rant over.
