We have the rather peckish Duchess of Bedford, Anna Russell to thank for the creation of afternoon tea as we know it today. Although tea has been drunk for centuries, the ritual of afternoon tea is a fairly modern invention in comparison. As fuel became […]
A wise person once said that there isn’t such thing as too much chocolate, so we decided to run with it! This Triple Chocolate Cheesecake recipe is a chocoholics dream and it uses our heavenly Triple Chocolate Cookies as the base. Share your photos with […]
Stephen will be reaching his Ringtons centenary next year, he joined the business back in 2010 and is ultimately responsible for all things coffee – from sourcing, buying and quality control to the production of coffee and management of our multimillion pound roasting facility. It’s an exciting time for coffee here at Ringtons, so we caught up with Stephen about what’s on the cards for the division.
No two days are the same which is what I like the best. Currently I am finalising designs for a significant increase in roasting capacity and the purchase of an additional roaster which will be delivered in early 2020. I’m also working on a new strategic vision for the next five years, some branding work for a new coffee proposition and helping with some tenders for national account opportunities…there’s lots happening!
Ringtons make coffee? I thought they just made tea!! Yes, we have produced coffee for over 80 years and supply coffee to countless high-profile places throughout the country. I guarantee you will have drunk Ringtons coffee without knowing it.
The ease in which you can work directly with the actual producer, the farmer. For example, within the last four months we have had some pre-ship samples from a farm in Brazil we hadn’t heard of, but we loved the coffee, flew out and met the farmer and now awaiting our first shipment into the Port of Tyne – it’s direct trade at its best.
There is no X in Expresso 😉
The care and attention that goes unnoticed to most people, anyone would be amazed at the touch points within the roaster’s supply chain. The sheer volume of quality checks and work that goes into creating your cup of coffee is amazing and the process is fascinating. From receiving samples to distributing the final coffee, we work tirelessly so you receive the freshest and most enjoyable product.
If I’m going for a black americano I’d choose Colombian, but I do love Triple Certified as an iced latte with a dash of sugar free caramel syrup.
Gold tea obviously! Or a cheeky vodka and diet coke on a night out.
For a snack I’d go for a Ginger Snap but for indulgence Sultana Cookies…
Are you smooth and sweet, dark and intense or somewhere in between? Whatever your flavour profile, we can perfectly match you with a Ringtons coffee bean for a satisfying cup. Take a look at our coffee collection, if there’s a flavour that you’d like to know […]
Earlier this week, Sadie, our Green Coffee Buyer and QC Manager, headed to Brazil to spend some time with our coffee suppliers and producers. We buy a substantial amount of our coffee from Brazil. It’s harvest time in Brazil at the moment so it’s […]
