Hello Reader
I have been meaning to write about Irish tea to which I have taken a liking to over the years..
I am definately a Lyons fan, you won’t find me drinking Barry’s, I am Lyons tea all the way:)
You either drink your tea black or white ( with or without sugar), and if you drink it white, it’s best to put the milk in first , then the sugar, and then add the tea! When you are working you would get tea breaks, and that’s a time to relax, catch up on gossip and have tea or coffee. It’s very much part of Irish life.
I remember that shortly after my boys were born, I was offered tea and toast on a tray in the hospital .
Often when visiting people the first question will be ” what about a cup of tea”?

There are many many other brands available in Ireland, such as:
Tetleys, PG Tips, Lipton, Typhoo, Pickwick or Twinings but none of them are Irish brands.
Amazon has a good selection of them, see below links to purchase!
I am getting thirsty now, so where is my cup of tea!
