A poll: What is your favourite tea?

Ok, so I had a quick conversation with Richie the farmer just there, and we discussed the Lyons vs Barrys tea question. So due to my curiosity, I am putting up a poll to see what my readers choice is! That is all. I am wrecked so I’ll post the chocolate cake recipe later this … Continue reading
