Awesome taste! My favorite tea!

Great tasting tea. A must buy when on sale.

Very good tasting tea leaves

Excellent tea, bold flavored and malty. And Barry’s loose tea can be brewed and successfully poured off without the need for a strainer, since the leaves sink to the bottom of the pot.

If you watch Mrs Brown's Boys, this is the same tea that she has on the counter waiting to share. Pretty good tea that tastes great Iced. Bulk Tea and a small leafed tea, so when you open the bag be careful as it may go everywhere.

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.

Too weak for my taste.

I discovered this tea while vacationing in Ireland and searched for a source in the U.S. as soon as I returned home. This is now my weekday morning tea. There are better (i.e. more expensive) teas, but I save them for weekends and special occasions. I like my tea strong. I brew it for 6-7 minutes with 212 degree water and I find it to be strong but not bitter. It holds up well if you use milk in your tea. Amazon has just recently started carrying it and they are cheaper than any other source that I know of. I just want to know why Amazon ships a 6" x 3-1/4" x 2-1/2" (48.75 cubic inches) package of tea in a 16" x 12" x 5-1/2" (1056 cubic inches) carton. This is not the first time I've received something in a box much larger than the item shipped. Guess that's why our Prime membership cost has risen to $99.
