Barry's Tea Gold Blend Loose Tea 250gRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

I remember drinking Barry's tea, on a ferry ship to Ireland, back in 1978. I'm not sure if that was their gold blend (or whether they were even doing a gold blend that far back), but I do remember the tea being delectable and this blend certainly is. It's strong (but Irish teas tend to be) and it has a superb colour with a rich, lingering taste. I put 2 heaped teaspoons in my (small sized) pot every time and it just produces a perfect brew: lovely with sugar, but equally competent with the brand of sweetener I sometimes use. I'm a fan of loose tea, as I can still remember my mother making it regularly in our kitchen when I was younger and this is both refreshing and satisfying. Recommended.

I like that this loose lead tea is in a compact container. I think Barry's is better than PG or Twinnings and I am delighted to recommend it to my friends around the UK.

I love the fresh flavour first thing in the morning, no milk, with a slice of lemon.It starts the day off well.Unable to get it here in England, so get it from amazon.Just very happy to get it.

This is the best Tea in the world.☘️

Very nice cup of tea.

Although I wouldn't class myself as an expert, I love tea! I drink about 10-15 cups a day. I like different teas for different times of the day. Assam in the morning/afternoon, Darjeeling later in the evening. I probably wouldn't have bought this tea tbh, (the name doesn't exactly inspire great things) it was given to me as a gift. But boy am I glad I was given this tea. It is absolutely perfect. Quite often with other teas, I make my own blends, but with this it is just perfection. I prefer it in the morning, but still drink it all day long. Only disappointment is it doesn't last long enough....... I wonder if they do it in kilo packets???? 10/10!

My husband's favourite tea. pleased to find it available from Amazon in looseleaf form.

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:-(
