Cornish Tea & Coffee has announced expansion plans to transform it into a “national leader with a global footprint”.
Currently, the company boasts a production capacity of five tonnes of coffee and over one million tea bags daily, positioning it as the largest producer in the south of England.
However, this capacity is set to increase five fold following the purchase of the old Drinkmaster factory just off the A38 near Liskeard. The new site will house its tea and coffee production facilities and a visitor centre
MD, Duncan Bond, said: “It’s exciting to keep pace with the demands of our customers. This new facility is driven by our commitment to delivering exceptional products and fulfilling customer needs. It will enable us to achieve our ambitious goal of reaching £15 million in turnover within the next few years, paving the way for further growth and expansion.”
As part of its growth plans, the company is pioneering regionally specific teas within the UK and this summer launched ‘Essex Tea’ in Tesco stores across Essex and ‘Cumbrian Tea’ in Booths stores across the north west. Cornish Tea & Coffee also has plans to expand overseas, with a “major retail” launch into the US market.
