Barry's Tea Lemon & Ginger

Barry's Tea is one of Ireland's most iconic tea brands, originally founded in 1901 by James J. Barry in Cork. The brand is legendary for its blending expertise, particularly concentrated in its Cork facility where tea tasters select high-quality ingredients from various regions around the world to create unique flavor profiles.

While the raw ingredients like ginger and lemon are sourced globally from regions such as East Africa and Asia, the blending, quality control, and packaging are primarily managed in Ireland. This specific product is a fruit and herbal infusion, representing the brand's expansion beyond its traditional black tea roots into health-conscious and caffeine-free alternatives.

Ownership has remained remarkably consistent; Barry's Tea is a family-owned Irish company. This independence has allowed it to maintain a significant market share in Ireland, often competing head-to-head with international brands while retaining its status as a quintessential heritage brand of the Republic of Ireland.
