    PGtips and Lyons made by same company (Unilever) from the same tea.....

    I dunno, they still taste different. Might be psychosomatic or the differently shaped bags but PG Tips will never be as nice as Barrys.

    Lyons is far nicer. Makes a good strong cup o tae. Leave the tea bag in and only a tiny drop of milk, tea's gotta scald the teeth off ya!!! :)

    Proper strong tae: Tesco Premium tea bags. about a euro cheaper than lyons and barrys and blended by nambarrie in norn iorn. 160 box great value.

    Sounds good, never knew nambarrie made tesco tea! I'll buy that in future when there is no nambarrie available.
    Lyons tea is alright, barrys is awful!

    I almost never post in these sorts of threads with my work account, but I felt the need to here.

    There is only one true tea.

    It is Lyons.
    OFFICIAL Tea of Boards.ie
    (okay, so I made that bit up)

    But here in our office (which consists of ourselves, Daft.ie and Adverts.ie), there was a box of Barry's muck that simply had to be thrown out after a year cause no one wanted to drink it. People would sooner go without. The Lyons boxes disappear in about 3 weeks (we're talking the 800 bag jobbies). I myself was responsible for 16 bags a day as I used 4 at a time in this mug:

    However, I'm currently trying to cut down my caffeine dependency so have stopped drinking tea in the office :) I do keep an emergency stash though at my desk...

    Bewley's.


    /Puts on monacle and sips Bewley's tea with little finger outstretched

    I've been drinking Bewleys Breakfast tea (loose) for years... it's fantastic tea.

    I'd drink Lyons if stuck but Barrys is as bitter as the people that make it.

    All these people voting Lyons are only doing so cos it's how they were brought up, they're the same types who will vote FF or FG cos their aul ones did

    /steers thread away from politics

    I challenge any lyons drinker to try barrys for a week, and try barrys green lable and see what a perfectly blended tea tastes like

    Most Lyons people haven't tried Barrys.
    I have successfully converted two households to Barry's as it is far superior.

    Totally agree. Most of the Lyons drinkers are only doing so by default. I am also spreading the Barrys word and have converted some peeps. A lot done, more to do....

    Barrys is delish. Fact.
