favourite decaf beans

lovely strong roast - just because we drink decaf doesn't mean we like bland coffee. best beans we've found yet.

Lovely

A friend of mine has a bean to cup and so she had gotten this coffee - which was just lovely. I have no such machine so thought i would try the coarse grind for my cafetiere...no regrets at all! This coffee is so lovely. The raw coffee smells delightful when you open the bag and the coffee is very pleasing on the palate (I drink my coffee just black no sugar or anything). This coffee is rich with low acidity and pleasurable to drink. The company is also very nice. Got a lovely hand written note in with my order and some chocolate covered beans. Shall be a regular customer.

Delightful suprise

Tug boat sent me a free sample of this delicious well rounded, smooth and satisfying tea. I am really happy that they did. I will be adding this to my range of favourites going forwards.

Our Favourite Coffee

We have been buying the Mocha Java coffee beans frozen m you for quite a number of years now. Whilst we have tried other beans, we keep coming back to our favourite- Mocha Java. Also, great reliable delivery service.

Medium Roast

Recently visited a coffee farm in Colombia and learnt how to get the best from your single source beans.
These are good, have had better but really enjoyable

My favourite tea!

Discovered the shop accidentally a year ago and - being a huge fan of the loose leaf teas - now only order from the Tugboat!
This particular tea is a great aroma, intense taste, beautiful colour. My daily cuppa!

Robust and flavoursome

I had this as a sample. I usually order the Assam tea but I shall definitely be ordering this Kenyan one next time.

Pure quality on all fronts.

The coffee is pure quality, correct roast and grind and delicious! Fast delivery in a warm and friendly manner. A family favourite. 11/10 💯

The best coffee shop

Wouldn't go anywhere else! Regular buyer of Swiss decaf and Kenyan peaberry beans. The best service you could ask for, super quick delivery, if we ever can't make it into town, and all coffee is now compared to this - nothing beats it!

Excellent

First rate customer service.
The coffee is always of excellent quality.
We have 3/4 decaf and the remainder of a coffee of our choice.
What ever we require is never to much trouble.
Fantastic service
Would highly recommend

Ginger Spice Tea

Delicious, warming ginger/tea blend

I’m a great fan of ginger infusions, but sometimes you need the pick me up that only a cup of tea can give you For me this black tea and dried ginger blend is therefore perfect. The ginger adds a refreshing warmth to the cup and is best drunk without milk. My order came promptly and efficiently from Tugboat and I will definitely be buying it again.

Rich and smooth

Perfectly balanced with a rich, smooth coffee/chocolate edge - delicious

Delicious

I tried this one for a change and now it’s my new favourite.

Glorious golden tea

I had a sample of this tea enclosed with an order,loved it so much ordered more. In fact waited for it to come back into sto ck and was overjoyed when it did. The tea is a lovely colour and has a refreshing taste, great for my morning cuppa!

Great bundle

As a first time buyer from tugboat I loved the Custom House bundle and great speedy service. Will buy again.
