Barrys Tea Gold Blend Irish Tea, 80 CTRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

When I travel to Ireland, the first thing I do is stop at Dunne's and buy the giant box of Barry's. It's very good, it's in a teabag (portable!), and I'll have enough left after the trip to keep me in tea for a couple of months.I grew up drinking dreadful American tea made from brown leaves (?) in a bag. Graduated to loose tea, then fancy loose tea. Lovely, but a bit fussy for when you travel and need a cup. But someone handed me a box of Barry's, and it made me happy.Buy this tea. It has a great color, tastes like tea should (not a small thing!), and is never bitter or nasty, even if you screw up and leave the bags in the pot past brewing time.ISE Forest & Garden provides great service at a great price! Barry's tea is hard to get now in the US (at least where I live), so I'm glad they branched out from equipment sales and service into tea supply.

Great tasting black tea! Really strong and perfect cuppa for a cold day! Can't find another tea to beat it!

We have been drinking Barry's tea for years and have always enjoyed it. It makes an excellent cup of hot or glass of iced tea. Highly recommend this product.

I really love the flavor of Barry’s Teas.

Proper Irish black tea. Makes terrific iced tea. Good body, excellent alone, hot or cold, plain or with cream and sugar.

I mean, this is the best tea ever. Other than Barry's Irish Breakfast which I also love. Don't make me decide between the two.I never liked tea until I visited Ireland as a teenager. Then I became hooked. When I got back to America, I realized that our tea was garbage. I mean no offense - but I can't even smell a bag of Lipton without being utterly confused. It was shocking to me as a young impressionable teenager that Americans would subject themselves in this way to terrible, flavorless tea when there were so many better Irish alternatives. Yes, I realize that there is now lots of fancy-pants American brand tea that is pretty good (or at least decent). But Irish brands are definitely more economical for the frequent tea drinker and their tea bags pack more concentrated flavor. Plus, if you've ever been to Ireland, one whiff and you're back.Note: this tea is best fresh so keep that in mind if you're getting a big box. Airtight or aspirationally airtight container or large plastic ziploc bag will suffice (I use a glass jar on the counter with a hinge - nothing vacuum sealed here).

I drink at least 6 cups of tea a day and this is absolutely my go to tea. Naturally sweet taste, strong, but not too strong, a beautiful amber color. In my opinion, the best Irish tea, or simply tea, out there.

I read an article or blog post on the best Irish and British teas after hunting online for a good Tea for coffee drinkers. Barry’s Gold was the highest rated. I decided to give it a try. After about a week of drinking it, I came back to get this “value” bundle. Since purchase, I’ve had more days without coffee than I have in years. I do enjoy coffee, so some days I will have a cup or 2, but I’ve been drinking Barry’s all day everyday. I can’t get enough of this. For flavor and how I feel from drinking it, I give it 5 stars.You will notice that I only gave it 4 stars in my rating. Generally I drink organic teas and would love for this to be. They don’t “claim” to be organic, so I don’t hold them accountable for that. I do however wish there was more information available on the sourcing and pesticides or other chemicals used from the farm to the bag. I personally appreciate more transparency. Please realize I’m not someone that does ALL organic and sticks my nose up at conventional products and their consumers. Tea can be quite deceiving when it comes to being saturated with chemicals. Remember that tea is actual plant matter.
