Best decaf

The best decaf beans and available at a very reasonable price. Shipping is fast and we always appreciate the little samples and handwritten notes. A gem of a coffee company

Keemun Tea
Neil Jeffery
Deliciously light, malty black tea

Keemun, which is a Chinese black tea, has a smoky aroma. It has a light, gentle malty taste, which could be compared to unsweetened cocoa. I drink it in the evenings, often with homemade chilli chocolate brownies that I began to bake after seeing a recipe on the Tugboat website.

Great coffee, great service!

I first tasted this fruity little number at an Air B&B in Penryn and was so taken with it I took the empty packet home and ordered another packet. I place a regular order with Tugboat. Their coffee arrives promptly with chocolate coated coffee beans and a personal message which I like.
I use the coarse grind for my cafetière and it’s perfect.
Taste notes clean and fruity on the palate with a hint of chocolate on the finish. I recommend!

Merchant Of Truro
Malcolm Uren
The Best is the Merchant Truro.tea.

Over the last four months I have sampled several tea types. All have been excellent, however The Signature Tea Merchant of Truro comes out on top. It is a fine tea with a very pleasing and tasteful flavour. It is superlative.

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.

Mocha Java
David Hopkins
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!

Kenya Pekoe Fannings Tea
Penny Osborne
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!
