tea company founded in 1901 in Cork City. Until the 1960s, tea was sold from a shop in Prince's Street, but thereafter as a result of its increasing popularity, the company expanded its wholesaling and distribution operations. By the 1990s, the company had become one of the largest tea suppliers in Ireland. It is also found in the UK, Spain, and in some areas of Canada and the US.According to their website [http://www.barrystea.ie/] , they are currently responsible for 34% of all tea sales in the Irish market (which is worth an estimated €85 million annually). Still based in Cork, the company employs 73 people, and has an annual turnover of €31 million.
The company also has other, non-tea based holdings, including the Batchelors canned food business.
