Our Aardvark Coffees
We serve high quality ground coffees: why not enjoy a cafetière of medium roast, flavourful coffee.
At the moment we can offer you:
Colombian - mild, rounded, most enjoyable
Kenyan Blue Mountain - rounded, smooth, a delightful coffee Brazilian Honduras - a strong, full-bodied coffee, ideal to get you started on a cold day!
Marimba Melts Hot Chocolate
Smooth, creamy hot chocolate melts, made with real chocolate flakes: choose from Milk, Dark, White or Sugar-free chocolate. Can be served with cream and marshmallows if desired!
Trumpers Leaf Teas
We are delighted that Claire Trumper has continued to supply us with her delicately flavoured quality leaf teas. Try her English Breakfast blend, the subtle Earl Grey, the light Darjeeling or the special Green Tea and we think you'll agree!
