Barry's Tea Gold Blend Loose Tea 250g

Nice, bold and refreshing breakfast tea.

What can be said about Barry’s tea apart from it’s perfect.

All good - my favourite tea for flavour.

Loose leaf is just so much better than any tea bags. Not as convenient but there is no comparison in terms of flavour and value for money. I prefer other black loose teas but Barry's has the brand recognition for a gift from Ireland.

My Irish friends are right, Barry’s Tea ticks all the boxes! If you love a decent, flavourful and good strong cuppa, then you have it here! A little pricey but being such a strong brew a little goes a long way! Well worth the expense!

Barrys Tea is full bodied and really satisfying. I can't get it where I live and am so glad it can be ordered. Usual supermarket teas are just not as good.

I bought this as I live in Northern Ireland and I can't seem to find this blend in loose tea in the supermarket. I always drank this tea when living in Southern Ireland (Cork) and it was the Tea of Tea's! Since using it now I find its not as good as I had expected, I think other brands that I have got used of are just as good or better. Sorry, Mr Barry, but I'm a little disappointed especially as I had praised this tea so highly to my family:-(

It makes a good strong, full bodied ,traditional cuppa. I keep hearing that tea bags are full of microplastics so l go bought myself a teapot with a central reservation for the loose tea and l now use Barry's tea. No need for a strainer, no yukky weak tea.

My favourite tea

It was a gift for my tea loving brother and he loves it . Service was exellent and was delivered the day after I ordered them.

Barry's Tea speaks for itself, it' a grand cuppa when it's the real thing. I have no complaints about the tea that I received from amazon, seems to be the genuine thing. Water quality can affect the taste of tea. It is worth knowing that Barry's tea may taste better when brewed in harder water.

Excellent tea, don’t let the other reviews steer you away. This is loose tea and it’s high quality, it is CTC (Crush tear curl) method that’s why it doesn’t look like traditional dried tea leaves. I see CTC as a benefit as it releases the flavor and caffeine quicker. I do 3 tsp in 16oz of boiling water for 5 minute steep and a splash of milk keeps me motivated and focused until noon (I drink it at 5:30AM). Get you some and get a nice stainless steel tea strainer!

I’ve seen several comments about how the tea looks. It appears to be rolled into little balls to me. When brewed, they unfurl. There has only been maybe less than a teaspoon of tea dust in the very bottom of the bag, and I have gone thru several bags. Which is quite acceptable to me, and understandable, given that it endures international shipping, and is a dry plant product. Flavor is very fruity, mild, pleasant and malty to me. But I am not a tea connoisseur, just a tea lover. MY method of brewing: Heat a 10 oz. Yeti cup with handle, Pour out about a half teaspoon of Barry’s tea into a Finum mesh brewing basket. Set it in the cup. Gently pour boiling water through basket. Lift basket up a couple of times until the color of tea is what I want. Remove basket. It may be possibly used again for another cup, depending on how much tea is in the basket. You can instantly SMELL it’s pleasing aroma. I do NOT get a strong tannin taste, unless I leave the tea sitting in the water too long. I drink mine plain, without milk and it is perfect for me. I think this brand is better than Taylor’s Gold. And definitely better than (not comparable to) anything I have tasted from USA stores. I have been in a long search for the perfect tea, and have found it here.
