Ireland and Tea
Home : Articles : Ireland and Tea

Tea and Ireland are synonymous with each other. It is a well known fact that tea is the favoured drink by some distance in Ireland, challenged only by Guinness. In Ireland we can lay claim to drinking more tea per capita than in any other country in the world, so for a small country we must drink a lot of tea!

Drinking tea in Ireland is a part of everyday life. We wake up, have breakfast with a cup of tea, stop for a tea break at 10:30 every morning, take tea with lunch, have another cuppa in mid afternoon, brew another tea for drinking along with dinner, then have a cup to sit with while watching the TV. Tea in Ireland is big, very big indeed.

Research shows that many Irish citizens will drink more than 6 cups of tea per day with the average consumption being 4 cups of tea. Because of our love for tea we have become quite talented when it comes to picking and blending fine teas, as can be seen with Barrys Irish Tea.

The majority of tea imported into Ireland originates in the lush tea growing, mountain slope gardens of Kenya. The tea leaves from this part of the world are renowned for their vitality, bright colour and long lasting taste. They are perfect for the tea drinking connoisseur, especially good, it would seem, for the tea blenders of Barrys Tea in Cork.
