Loose beans, teas, confectionery for retailers
We can supply loose beans for retail. To see the wide range of roasts and origins available see our retail coffee list. We can do special roasts as well. We have an wide range of teas including black, green and herb teas, loose and in teabags. We also have fine confectionery, organic fondant chocolate and cocoa powder. These items are all pre-packed under our own label. Price discounts from retail are shown below, for a complete product list see our retail pages.Caterers: delicious organic Fairtrade espresso blends
You can arrange to visit our shop in Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London W11 for a chat, to try some blends and see our own machine in action. The best way to get quality is not to buy a well known brand - you're the one who's paying for their marketing budget! It is best to get better beans, roasted recently.
We are best suited to establishments and small chains turning over 5 to 50 kg per week who value our close attention to quality, roasting consistency and freshness. We can discuss your requirements and assess samples of the coffee you currently use. We would then offer you one or two samples to fit your requirements.
How many times have your customers asked if they can buy your coffee to take home and make themselves? Many of our catering customers also sell our valve packs as an easy profitable add-on. We have no minimum order for any one line, so you don't need to gamble on buying loads.
Is decaf a problem for you? We have excellent organic Fairtrade decaf in 250g valve packs (to keep it fresh), ground for professional espresso for £2-50 per pack.
Opening a shop? We can give general advice. We are a small business with our own coffee shop too.
Tea, teabags, cocoa powder for caterers.
We offer delicious, very competitive Organic Breakfast Blend teabags, a blend of Assam and Tanzanian, perfect for regular tea made in large or individual teapots. We have several teashops on our customer list, who use infusers or teapots to make our loose teas, or teapots or just cups for our herbal and regular teabags. (However none of our teabags are tagged). You can make delicious hot chocolate using our organic cocoa powder and making up a chocolate sauce each day. This is much better than using "drinking chocolate" powder which is mostly sugar and cheap skim milk powder.
Information: Organic Fairtrade coffee, the implications for you
We are one of the very few UK suppliers with a good range of freshly roasted organic Fairtrade coffees. Most of our trade customers choose this option. By using dual certified coffee you can appeal to two highly motivated interest groups. (By using superb coffee you will appeal to everyone else too: many of our customers have no interest in either organic or Fairtrade, they just prefer our coffee)
You do not need to make organic or Fairtrade your main selling point, those who are interested will notice anyway.
Many caterers pay more for coffee that is inferior to ours and is neither organic or Fairtrade. Compared to the best of the non-organic non-Fairtrade competitors our coffee will add only about 1p per cup to your coffee. In most areas you will recoup this easily with extra sales as customers seek you out and do valuable word of mouth publicity for you.
The small print... Certified organic means that we are audited annually by the Soil Asociation and display their logo. Fairtrade means we are audited by the Fair Trade Foundation and carry the Fairtrade logo on our coffee. As a caterer you can advertise that your coffee is organic so long as you display a pack for the public to see, because the pack shows the organic certification details. Similarly, as a retailer selling loose beans without your own organic certificate, you can advertise they are organic so long as you serve out of the original pack. You should seek advice before using the organic or Fairtrade symbols on your own advertising material, copyright is owned by the respective organisations and they are very fussy about it.
