Cup by cup

There’s always something exciting happening over at Cornish Tea & Coffee, be it a new factory, new products, or new achievements!

This month is no exception, as evidenced by the launch of Cornish Tea’s new range of loose-leaf Organic Teas and Tisanes, all made in the company’s new factory. The range consists of Cornish Breakfast, Earl Grey, Decaf, Winter Tea, Peppermint, Green Tea, and Red Berry, and whichever takes your fancy, the fragrance of the leaves as they stew is amazing. Having hit the shelves this February, each tea in the range is organic, plastic free, and packaged with sustainable cardboard, making each brew a cuppa with a conscience!

“In nine years, we have grown from working out of an attic, to operating out of four large industrial units and offices, with a fleet of vehicles and a growing staff to look after our customers.”

So what else is happening? Well, as you may know, the G7 Summit is due to take place at St Ives’ Carbis Bay Hotel and Tregenna Castle this coming June, which is fantastic news for Cornwall as a whole. It is particularly great news for Duncan and the team at Cornish Tea & Coffee, who are suppliers for both of these luxury hotels, as it means they will, this June, be the supplier to many of the world’s leaders. As Duncan puts it: “To think that heads of state will be having a cup of Cornish Tea & Coffee whilst working out the world’s problems…”

Despite the Coronavirus pandemic, Cornish Tea & Coffee have continued to push forward. The new factory is now both complete and organic certified, and the team have recently gained their SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) certification, enabling the company to manufacture teas for other high-street brands. “This is an amazing achievement by the team,” says Duncan. “In nine years, we have grown from working out of an attic, to operating out of four large industrial units and offices, with a fleet of vehicles and a growing staff to look after our customers.”

The latest addition to the team is Sarah, who joins Cornish Tea as the new Quality Development Technologist Manager. “This,” explains Duncan, “is a key role in keeping the quality of the products to a high standard. Bringing in new people like Sarah is our commitment to the quality of the brand. We will start to fill these key roles with more highly trained people in the future, and keeping these skilled jobs in Cornwall always makes me happy!”

As it looks to continue building upon nine years of success, it would seem that the only way is up for Cornish Tea & Coffee. Here at Cornwall Living, we can’t wait to see what the future brings for Duncan and co, as they continue to serve the world cup by cup.
