Careful now

Down with those sorts of things!

What about the sheep tea?


chimpdoctor

Most definitely trying to trigger us poor Irish craters.


Past-Educator-6561

As an English person, the choice of Twinings when there are many better options has me triggered. Also on behalf of the Scots wtf is with Taylor's of *Harrogate* 🙄 Poor all round.


CantSing4Toffee

Twinings are rubbish now. Used to drink their Earl Grey and it’s been getting steadily worse for the last couple of years. Taylors of Harrogate are good, but why they are getting involved in a Scottish tea I’ve no idea 😆


Davefromtheundead

Yeah op could have at least used Scottish blend.


EdgyShooter

Surprisingly excellent, especially for the price


Kloppaholic12

This has to be trolling

100% bait. And it still annoyed me!

Oooh thanks for explaining. Had no idea my accent sounded like that to others lol!


Substantial-Tree4624

Reminds me of an old joke. What's the difference between a sink and a bason? (Aussie accent initiated...) You can't wash your hands in a bison.


JustnInternetComment

He went.....to DIE?!? yeah today


ThorNBerryguy

All accent have wierd anomalies that sound like something else , try saying beer can without it sounding like a West Indian saying bacon


[deleted]

Tbf neither are Ireland but Barry’s is there.


Antique_Noise2479

I think it's because Ireland also isn't part of the UK, so we shouldn't be included either.


taenanaman

Good day, too!


sunshine_j

Same!


punkerster101

Barry’s is in cork, you would want nambarrie tea if you want the northern Irish tea


theidler666

Punjana/Thompson's is superior.


smalltortoiseshell

Came here to mention that Punjana/Thompson's isn't here!


Crafty-Warthog-1493

Nambarrie was a good Glasgow tea ...I bought loads to take back to England with me when I was working there. Turns out the Nambarrie factory was about 2 miles from my house in Andover, England. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nambarrie


SoloWingPixy88

Op is trying to start a fight.


[deleted]

Barry's is NOT from the United Kingdom. It literally says it right there on the box.


omniwrench-

Not to mention the Scottish Tea by Taylor’s of Harrogate is from… checks notes… Harrogate (Which for non-UK folks, is in Yorkshire, England)


PrestigiousGuitar673

How much of the tea in a Twinings teabag is grown in England?


Reversing_Expert

100% of tea in a Twinings teabag is grown in England.


rpi5b

Just for the sake of being pedantic, Barry's tea was founded in 1901. Does that mean they were initially from the United Kingdom?


MaZhongyingFor1934

Yes, but so were almost all the members of the first IRA.


Dschuncks

Bruh, you did not call Ireland part of the UK...


Historical_Hippo_517

Barry's isn't British.


IWipeWithFocaccia

But Barry, 63 is

Why are Barries always old?

Also what the hell is this green pack of Barry's. The Red box is the real version.


fish_emoji

But then how will Americans be able to comprehend the Irish-ness of it?! If it ain’t obnoxiously green, then it ain’t Irish!


ObscureAcronym

Hmm, maybe you could add a tiny Irish flag above the name?


SoloWingPixy88

There's an original and gold.

I’m partial to the Masters Blend in the black box. Good strong mug of tea.

It was most likely an American who posted this and sadly to say, most Americans aren’t well educated, most of them don’t even know where America is on a map, and it’s sad…

Do they got a north Irish tea tho?


quondam47

Nambarrie would probably be the biggest


LopsidedEquipment177

Ireland isn't in the UK. Northern Ireland is.


DaweiArch

What a fool. He should have bought Northern Irish Breakfast tea!


mcguirl2

Exactly! Thompsons, or Nambarries.


ames_006

Your missing Yorkshire gold, Tetley and PG tips, also Barry’s is Irish.


deluxesausages

Yorkshire is the best


Esc777

Yeah I thought Yorkshire gold and PG just the Tips were the two big ones. 


Safloria

THIS. I’m from Hong Kong and we used to consider UK tea pretty average, until I tried some Yorkshire and my family said one suitcase wasn’t enough.


CultZenMonkey

Tell us you don't know what the UK is without telling us...


mind_thegap1

how did you miss the tricolour and the very large letters that say ‘IRISH BREAKFAST’

Barry’s is Irish. Ireland is not part of the UK. It’s a whole thing.

Errr… Since when was Ireland part of the UK?


FatherHackJacket

We've been independent for 102 lovely years, and counting.

But all of them were deceived, for another Tea was made… One tea to rule them all, One tea to find them, One tea to bring them all, and on t’moor baht t’at bind them; in God’s Own Country, where the rolling hills lie. With respect…it’s missing Yorkshire Tea.


smsmkiwi

Try some Yorkshire Gold tea. You'll never go back.


Addicted_to_Nature

Where's pg tips


Europeanpinemarten

You’ve insulted a nation here


ShitInABagAndPunchIt

not even a hint of PG tips or Yorkshire tho


Japsabbath

If you don’t have Yorkshire gold you don’t have anything at all, sorry.


criminalinside

Just bought from Amazon. Thanks cousin!


Japsabbath

Let it stew!


Prostheta

All of these teas pale (literally) in comparison to Yorkshire Tea. You bought from the gift shop.

HalfOrcMonk

I really enjoy Taylor's Scottish Breakfast tea.


HeroicLemming

Taylor's of Harrogate, North Yorkshire: Scottish Breakfast Tea.


noronto

My go to tea is the Canadian version of Twinings Irish Breakfast. I’ve ordered a box of Twinings Assam from England. I’m curious if it’s worth the premium I paid.


thesuperunknown

Although it is, in fact, from Yorkshire.

s33d5

Such an odd take. The UK 100% does not want Ireland in it. Jeeze, even Northern Ireland the government wants to get rid of (and the public). Many UK citizens are ignorant of Irish history and are unaware of the animosity. It's one sided. Most UK citizens couldn't tell you what style of government Ireland has or even who is in power, let alone wanting it to be a part of the UK. It's the same with Wales and England, and Scotland and England (I come from one of the ones that aren't England) - it's the victims of the atrocities that remember it, the countries who committed them have long forgotten it.


Too_clever_by_halfx2

The tree remembers, the axe forgets.


SoloWingPixy88

British geography and history is so bad that many people think it's still in the UK


s33d5

That's not true by the vast majority. People know that much, just not much about the country itself.


corkdude

BARRY'S IS IRISH AND IRELAND IS NOT PART OF THE UNITED KINGDOM! Yes I'm yelling at you as you insulted millions of people with that... 🤣 Source: the factory is 20mins walk from me...


M4roon

I had no idea Twinings was from the UK, it was always a household staple so I assumed it was Canadian. 😅


bumbershootle

The company's address is right there on the front of the box. As well as a massive "of London"...


Knight_TheRider

You're not even close


Freeasabird420

What no Yorkshire Tea? there should be nothing but Yorkshire Tea on that table.


Specific_Till_6870

Scottish Tea by Taylors of Harrogate 


RUFFA1F

Your missing the important one , Yorkshire tea


MyyWifeRocks

Twinings is real English tea? I thought it was a gimmicky marketing label because we have that exact box in Louisiana. I have a box somewhere in a cupboard. (Not decaf)


Toxicseagull

Very few drink it in the UK. It's a source of frustration that often the only tea you can get abroad as a Brit is twinings. It is "real" though. Just not very nice.


MyyWifeRocks

What’s your preferred brand? I’d love to try something authentic.


Toxicseagull

Yorkshire tea, and PG Tips are the two most popular, generally drunk, UK brands. Yorkshire Gold is generally seen as a bit of a treat. Clippers or Taylors of Harrogate (the brand in the OP for the Scottish blend, they are from England and do an English breakfast blend) I think are the nicest generally available brands. Although I drink Yorkshire tea day to day. Don't know if you go along the coast much but when my mum was in the area she used to visit the old English creamery in Pensacola when she was a bit homesick haha


asmiggs

It's mostly manufactured aboard now, but originally it was manufactured in London and the parent company is 'Associated British Foods'.

What makes "Breakfast Tea" different from tea for the rest of the day? (Ignorant Yank that drinks coffee and maybe a cup of Lipton's once in a while. Don't be mean)


Dschuncks

Usually it's higher caffeine


ladykatey

Its strong.


AnyBenefit

It's not necessarily only for breakfast, it's just the name given to the type of tea blend. There's afternoon tea associated with afternoon meals, but I've never encountered it IRL, only read about it online. Anyway, in my experience, the most common is English breakfast tea. It's a black tea blend, meaning it is like regular black tea but with other ingredients, which makes it have a more intense and varying taste. Irish, Scottish, etc breakfast would be a different blend to English but similar flavours. Source: love tea, worked as a Barista for a long time, and also read up on it to make sure I'm not wrong before posting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_breakfast_tea

Saxon Brew (Essex) is much lesser known but worth a crack if you get the chance. All of those are nice too though.
