I favour Earl Grey, Fair Trade, preferably organic. I don’t think tea is expensive, compared to same quality coffee. What drives me mad is being charged 2.50 euros for a cheap tea bag in hot water. And Ireland is not the worst there, I’ve been charged more than 3 euros in Europe for tea.
There is a lovely shop on Exchequer street in Dublin: Le Palais des Thes. They do a beautiful Earl Grey, but also a lot of less well known teas and you can sample them
I adore vanilla tea. Twinings do a gorgeous vanilla and coconut tea and Java republic have a lovely vanilla and rooibos version. Both are a little pricey, but are very comforting.
I know it’s considered sacrilege by many, but for those of you who prefer decaf tea of an evening – Dunnes have a €1.50 voucher offer on Lyon’s decaf bags at the moment…
