Wholesale Tea for Bars & Restaurants

Your diners have just enjoyed an excellent meal and they're looking for a perfect finish. Coffee? Of course. But what about some really good tea as an alternative?

Diners increasingly are looking for alternatives to coffee for all dining occasions. A herbal infusion to wash down a meal, a jasmine or green tea to take the heat out of spicy food or perhaps a caffeine-free Rooibos; tea fits many spaces where coffee doesn't quite work.

Cup of Tea specialises in Ronnefeldt Tea. All teas are produced by the traditional orthodox which means hand picking and processing in small batches. Ronnefeldt tea tasters insist on this because it guarantees the very best quality.

Loose or not?
Loose teas give the best taste but you may not want to work with them How about our Tea Caddy or LeafCup special loose leaf teabags. Perfectly portioned for a pot for two or a single cup/mug, these innovative formats provide all the benefits of loose tea but with total convenience and portion control

Or for a wide visually impactful range go for Ronnefeldt Teavelope. High quality teabags in 20 varieties with each teabag individually foil wrapped for freshness.

Looking Great Too

 The Quality of Our Ronnefeldt Teas

All Ronnefeldt tea is produced using the traditional orthodox method. Unlike mass-produced teas which are harvested and produced mechanically, orthodox teas are picked traditionally by hand.

The workers in each tea garden carefully harvest two leaves and a bud. The tea leaves are processed in small batches with the skill of the plantation managers ensuring the quality of every tea.

Ronnefeldt has been trading tea since 1823. That long history and experience is put to use every day by our tea tasters. They only buy the very best teas and continuously ensure there is no compromise in quality.

Leaf, broken and fannings tea grades are available in a variety of formats but Ronnefeldt never supplies the dust grades usually found in mass-production teabags.

Ronnefeldt accessories are designed for the hospilaty industry. As such they are beautifully designed, but strong enough to survive tough hospitality envoironments.
