Irish brew

Choose Barry’s for a pukka cuppa

Hype knows no bounds, it seems. Who would have thought the humble cup of tea could have been reinvented as it has been[cb]over recent years?

As a reminder that Wallpaper* is just as much about the preservation of time-honoured and quality brands as it is about pushing the product envelope, our award for the best brew goes to the wholly reliable Irish tea company, Barry’s. Why?

First, the packaging promises nothing more than a straight-talking cup of tea, but most importantly, the tea itself hails from the best plantations throughout Kenya and India’s Assam Valley. Just leave the builder’s bum to the professionals.[cb]
