Ringtons

Ringtons is a Newcastle upon Tyne-based tea and coffee company, established in 1907. They started life in tea but their specialty coffee program has grown seriously over the years — think single origin Arabica, Fairtrade and Organic certified beans, plus specialty grade blends, all packed at their Newcastle factory. This is primarily a B2B operation: they serve offices, hotels, cafes, and garden centres across the UK, not home brewers directly. They also supply commercial machines and run barista training. If you're a business chasing consistent quality coffee service, they're your people. For the home enthusiast, their beans are available through wholesale channels or might pop up in cafes — just don't expect a direct-to-consumer setup.
