7. Barry’s Tea
This is the Irish guest who brings the party. Barry’s Tea is strong—almost cheeky in its boldness. It’s not for the faint of heart.
My friend from Dublin insists on it. One cup and you’ll feel like you can run a marathon, or at least tackle the laundry pile. It’s a proper wake-up call.
8. Pukka Herbal Teas
Okay, Pukka isn’t your standard builder’s brew. But their Three Ginger or Night Time teas are lifesavers when you’re feeling rough.
It’s the tea you reach for when you have a cold or can’t sleep. The peppermint and liquorice blends smell like a spa day, but cost about fifty pence.

9. Fortnum & Mason
This is the Rolls-Royce of tea. If you buy a box of Fortnum’s, you’re either treating yourself or showing off. It’s that expensive tin you see in department stores.
Their Royal Blend is incredibly smooth, almost buttery. It feels like sipping history, and yes, it makes your morning feel a bit more glamorous.
10. Tea Pigs
Tea Pigs are the trendy newcomer with the silly name. They use whole leaves in big pyramid bags, which means more flavour and less dust.
Their Lapsang Souchong smells like a campfire, which is weirdly addictive. It’s for when you want your tea to tell a story, not just be a drink.
