Tea in Ireland once called an ‘uncontrollable drug that destroys families and stifles the economy’

Must admit to having a respectful stash of Barry's tea at home. Bewley's is good too. Many is the time when all seems lost a cup of Irish tea restores one to a more amicable person. Yes I do intend to continiue this most Irish trait of drinking lashes of tea with soda bread and whiskey marmelade. I live in Scandinavia but stock up on tea when at home, my record is 3000 tea bags on one flight, no whiskey just tea. Excuse me while I put the kettle on.

I love it. Barrys is the only good tea. At one point I was drinking Dublin Tea, it was so weak. Found Barry's here in Fl

Luxefaire, Good point.It also gives America a reason to suppress indigenous peoples in So. America. "War on Drugs"

Could this researcher have come upon a 190th century version of "The Onion?" (The Onion is a saterical newspaper in America that spoofs politicians, pop culture, religion, whatever strikes its fancy).

yesssss...just like the weed marijuana is illegal everywhere so the cia and its operatives like barry soetero and bill clinton can sell it at insane profits...another elite rule of thumb: restriction causes greater interest and much higher profits, its the way they are...all lawmaking is just to make the rich richer and the poor moreso...the cia is just their backdoor into our lives, our government, our currency, and economy...the secret societies in the schools are hotbeds of treasonous activities in all countries, especially america...alcohol should be fuel for cars, but instead it fuels the police state while marijuana, a true gift to humankind, is demonized and made illegal. the laws of the elite serve only the elite, remember that, and then do what you know is right. hopefully some people in ireland can still do that, most of these idiots here in america are in a trance and brain dead from too much church and television.

Barry's Tea is addictive, for sure!
