    Tetleys,
    Punjana.

    Neither of which are 'fancy' brands!

    Lyons. More robust. And there is a difference in taste - it's not all in the head!

    Bewleys teabags are great, so are Punjana.
    Barrys is muck. Piss. Swill. And so on...

    Barrys is a nicer tae. Lyons always tastes like a cup of barrys tea where you used the teabag yesterday.

    I'm ashamed to say I don't even know what brand of teabag is in my press and I drink tea almost every day.

    After the nanny state thread I thought we saw eye on eye on most subjects. I was ready to subscribe to your newsletter. Then this bombshell that you don't like Barrys.

    I'm lost for words.

    Lyons! Was raised on it as my late granddad used to work in Lyons & would bring home big bags of teabags to split around the family each week.

    Oh it has to be Barrys. Lyons is ok too, but not my favourite.
