Morrisons customers in Newport and Lake are now able to buy freshly roasted coffee beans from The Island Tea & Coffee Co. It’s the first supermarket to stock the coffee, roasted in Rookley, with three varieties of single origin beans on offer.
“We are sure shoppers will appreciate the superior flavour that comes from freshly roasted coffee,” says Master Roaster Mike Townsend. “We will be delivering coffee to the stores within a few days of the roast date, unlike other brands that may have been roasted months before they can reach the store. Our fresh roasted coffee is already sold to tourist venues such as IW Steam Railway, pubs, restaurants and Cafés such as Driftwood, King’s House Bar and JR Zone, specialist retailers including Toby’s of Cowes, and a variety of other business premises.”
Tom McMullen, Store Manager at Morrisons Newport said: “Our priority is to offer more local products to customers in the Isle of Wight and so we’re pleased to be working with The Island Tea & Coffee Co. to offer our customers these locally roasted beans which we’ve tasted for ourselves and admired their freshness and taste.”
