Beyond Tea
We have a big focus on what we can do to help you deliver the best possible tea experience for your business, from Cold Brews, Iced Teas and food pairings – but we understand that there is more to it than just tea sometimes. Beyond Tea is a small curated collection of our favourite independent businesses to support your drinking experience.
Coffee
Standing out in a market as specialist and saturated as coffee is no easy feat, but Sanctuary Coffee do it effortlessly. Figure-headed by Marcus and Rhian, they’ve built a brand we genuinely aspire to. They are the underdogs who fund the dogs pairing elite, competition-grade roasting expertise with a beautiful mission to support animal rescues. The coffee they source, the vital projects they fund, and the absolute warmth of their team give them a real standout effect. They are truly lovely people, and you couldn’t choose a better coffee partner.
We are spoilt in having the exceptional team at Roundhill Roastery roasting just down the road from us. They source and roast crazy delicious coffee, combining an uncompromising eye for quality with a passion for total transparency and bright, contemporary flavour. Stand out, shop local, support independent, and never settle for an average morning brew.
Carringtons Coffee Co. led by Suzy & Alex, is a standout roastery built on ethical sourcing and direct trade. With bold blends like Doghouse and PB&J, they fuel their Bold cafés – vibrant, values-led spaces that reinvest profits into mental health and community well-being. Great coffee with genuine purpose.
Noni’s Coffee Roastery in Stroud is built on flavour, fairness, and a fierce love for sustainability. After years of learning from small-scale farmers across Peru, Ethiopia and Kenya, Noni founded her roastery to champion climate-positive coffee and meaningful partnerships. Each roast is chosen for impact and taste – ensuring every cup does good, and tastes even better.
Dairy and M!lk
Alternatives
Family run and with a true focus on regenerative farming and animal welfare here in the UK; The Towers Team bring an incredible passion to the world of dairy that delivers incredible consistency, quality and service.
Teaware
When we first started out, in the midst of lockdowns, we had a small online presence of which Joe at Old Forge was a follower. Through numerous exchanges Joe would later become a beacon for guidance and support, they have helped us to shape what success looks like for ourselves. We love all the work that Joe produces, with truly innovative designs, glazes and unbelievably precise attention to detail – all products are handmade and any business would be lucky to have this work as part of their drinking experience.
Another local maker, this time based in Frome, we met Fi on one of our first visits to the sleepy Somerset town. Their studio welcomes you in off of Catherine Hill with promises of warmth, immersive engagement and a friendly smile. Fi dances the line between pottery in art and as functional pieces of stoneware, each piece is truly unique and a genuine pleasure to sup from.
Drinking Chocolate
Curated by the most wonderful couple Harry & Chloe, we met these guys at the Birmingham Coffee Festival and immediately hit it off. Based in Cheshire, they have an incredible selection of drinking chocolates and baked goods for your establishment.
This Somerset team are located just up the road from us in Bath, we recently partnered up to exhibit and sponsor the Hay Literary Festival – a huge success, this wonderful team have a really personal touch and are creating some of the most incredible micro-batch chocolates available.
