    Barrys by miles, there are some damaged taste buds are around these part with all the lyons votes, its awful stuff. Bewleys would be my second choice after Barrys its ok too.

    Whatever I pick up first

    I did a taste test of barrys and lyons, both the standard green label. Lyons won.

    My housemate introduced this to me recently. Nicest tea I ever tasted. In fact, I think I'll make myself a pot right now!

    First flush Darjeeling from estates with southern slopes.

    Barrys and Lyons comes in teabags and are for the type of people who work in cubicles.

    Barry's. At least they don't pretend to have blending facilities in Ireland in their ads.

    Putting talk into tea...All talk, ...more like b*llocks-talk

    Barry's v Lyons is a bit like your religion. You most likely got your preference from your ma.

    It also explains why I drink coffee :D

    2 Lyon's teabags = 1 Barry's teabag.

    Barrys is for Corkonians!


    Gotta be Lyons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,273 ✭✭✭Hoop66


    Decent loose-leaf Assam all the way.

    If I absolutely have to ddrink teabag tea, then Lyons Gold Blend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭Miss Lockhart


    Barry's Gold Blend loose leaf.

    All teabags taste of bleach.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 353 ✭✭yizorselves


    Doesnt matter to me at all. Tea is just helps me with my sangwiches, biccies and cake


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Barrys all the way. For anyone who loves an underdog you have to go with Barrys.

    Having risen to prominence in Cork and then Munster many believed that it could never break into Lyons national stranglehold. Barrys also had to fight off Lipton when they tried to enter the market. Lipton is probably the worldwide brand leader and Barrys won. They have now gone on to be stronger than ever. Viva Barrys!

    Between the scone argument and this one AH is looking like a pretty dangerous place at the moment :pac:

    *Mr.Prodston heads off for a cup of Barrys knowing his work here is done*

    At the moment I am an equal opportunity tea drinker. My quest to find the perfect tea continues.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,356 ✭✭✭buyer95


    Lads tis almost a dead heat. The question that divides the nation, Saipan 2.0 one might say. There's the makings of a RTE series in this, does someone have Montrose's number, I'll do the sales pitch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭LizT


    I only recently started drinking tea (:eek: I know) so I don't know the difference. What is the difference?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,115 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    Punjana

    Most underrated brand out there!

    Definitely. If I don't have loose tea, it's punjana.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,035 ✭✭✭uch


    Tea is Poxy stuff, now if it was whiskey it'd be Jemmy or Kilbeggan for me
