    M&S Gold Blend is light years better than Barrys or Lyons.

    Switch to coffee, it's light years ahead of tea in general.

    Much the same thing happened to me OP. Was always a Lyons Tea drinker but on Wednesday evening, I ran out of it and so went to the shop. All they had left was Barrys !!!

    So there and then I made the most important decision of my life. BAM!! An hour later I had drank a bottle of Jack Daniels after saying "Fúck Tea" but yet the irony of it all was I later was found naked in the back garden singing "I'm a little teapot".

    Was brought up in a lyons house, but I tend to buy barrys. Of course Twinings Assam is the real daddy.

    Barry's ftw. Lyons tastes what I would imagine a months worn pair of socks wrung out into a cup would be like. Foul shït.

    At least these are all "Irish" brands... so it's kind of excusable.
    We've got Typhoo and Tetleys at home. And lads, seriously, they beat everything else hands down. I'm sorry, but it had to be said.

    À chacun son goût

    I have tried Tetley's, and it's nice but more orientated towards the English (perhaps British) palate, so it's lighter in taste than Irish teas/blends.

    I would say it's got more flavour, but less bitterness.
    I find most of the Irish teas to be too much on the bitter side, and not enough actual taste to them.
    But as you said, to each their own. Good thing to have the choice :D

    Have Barrys at the moment, tbh I only drink on average about one cup of tea a week and about 5 cups of coffee a year.....not a massive fan of either but it depends what I'm eating.

    Will be going home to the family home tomorrow and throughout the weekend I'll prob end up having 4 or 5 cups of tea for some reason.

    I disagree, I drink both, and enjoy both equally.

    I like tea when I come home from work, it's relaxing. When in work I prefer coffee, it seems to stay warm longer than tea and it's a nice pick me up.

    But coffee makes me very gassy, so I drink tea more....

    You have to separate barrys tea bags. Effort. Lyons come in little individual pyramids :D

    :cool:

    All teabags are simply dust, a paper bag and glue.

    Proper tea every time. Heat the teapot, and put the tea in for a couple of minutes to expand while the kettle comes to the boil. Just before it boils, take it off and pour the water in from around 30cm above so it bruises the tea as it pours into the pot. Let it draw for four minutes. Pour, add the additives of your choice (milk, Black Bush, lemon...) and drink. Ahhhhh

    Yawn!

    Boil kettle, pour hot water into a cup with a teabag and sugar, mix the bag furiously and then give it a squash against the side of the cup. Add milk.

    Your done in 60 seconds and no ones ever complained about my tae.:pac:

    Putting the sugar in with the teabag is just insane, I was 21 years old and a veteran tea drinker before I'd ever seen anyone do that. Its madness.
