I'm on a quest to try all the Irish teas, and Lyon's was on the list. I hear there is a rivalry of sorts between Lyon's and Barry's and I can see why. Both are quite good and I would be happy to drink either.
Lyon's is similar to Barry's Gold blend, and I found it to be a tad smoother, and Barry's to be a little brighter colored. The aroma reminds me of Yorkshire Gold, which is a good thing. The tea bag is pyramidal, which is similar to PG Tips. All in all, a good breakfast tea that is quite enjoyable with or without milk.
