Lyons Tea (Ireland)

Lyons is a brand of tea belonging to Unilever that is sold in Ireland. It is one of the two dominant tea brands in the market within the Republic of Ireland, along with Barry's Tea. It was started by the Lyons family in Dublin in 1902, with production moving from High Street to Marlborough Street in 1932 and Goldenbridge, Inchicore, in 1963. The company was taken over by Unilever in 1996 and its products are now produced in England. It was a major advertiser in the early decades of RTÉ Television, featuring the "Lyons minstrels" and coupon-based prize competitions.

A Lyons Tea sign is shown in the background in a scene in Castletown in The Quiet Man (1952), the iconic film directed by John Ford that starred John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.

In the BBC/RTÉ Mrs Brown's Boys TV Series, a box of Lyons Tea is on top of the bread bin in Agnes Brown's kitchen.
