Thanks! I'll look for Tetley. (To be honest, I think I preferred the Irish tea or at least I saved my one remaining tea bag until I was nearly out of the Bigelow.) But I have a strong feeling Tetley is just what I am looking for ... something to which you can add milk and drink hot during the winter.

I was curious about Irish/English tea as well and so made a cup of Barry's Gold and one of Yorkshire Gold to compare. Slightly preferred the Barry's and I guess maltier is as good a word as I could come up with to describe the difference. Mind you I'm a coffee drinker so I'm not very tea sensitive.

I've not tried Barry's but I've not seen it for sale in the South of England anywhere.

Barry’s Irish Breakfast is my current favorite tea (ahead of Barry’s Gold for sure) followed by Yorkshire Red. Barry’s Irish is like the fruition of what the usual Irish breakfast Twining’s etc only hint at

Barry’s is very easy to find in Brooklyn, surprising that’s not the case in the South of England

Yeah I saw Barry's way more in the US than in where I live in the UKSame with Irish pubs.
This past year I've stopped having a cup of normal tea first thing in the morning and have a gentle fruit tea instead. Feel better for it. Still have loads of tea during the day/evening though.

Tetley British Blend turned out to be just what I was looking for. Thanks!

There should be a thé au lait; (certain kinds of) tea could be just as deserving. In a translation, presumably from French to English or written by a native speaker of French, I was amused to find a reference to pipper mint.

I think my favorite part of making tea is the forced meditation of the steep

I just received about a pound of tea shipped from India. You have to buy that much to qualify for free shipping. It lasts me the better part of a year at the rate I drink it.
