Take part in Bury St Edmunds-based Butterworth and Son’s wordsearch for a chance to win a bag of coffee
The Butterworth family's roots in fine beverage trading date back to the 19th century, when Harry Butterworth established himself as a tea merchant in the Manchester area.
The family's entrepreneurial spirit passed down, with my father, Robert Butterworth Senior, opening a tea shop in Guildhall Street, Bury St Edmunds, in the 1970s. Passionate about pictures and postcards, my father produced collectable picture cards to include in each pack of tea bags. More than 80 sets were introduced, many of which were beloved by Suffolk residents.
In 2011, I recognised the huge potential in speciality coffee and decided to expand our tea trading into the world of roasting. Since then, Butterworth & Son has been dedicated to sourcing the finest coffee from smallholders and indigenous communities across the coffee belt. I myself travel regularly to Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and Peru to source coffee. Most often, it comes from the same farms and producers I have known for years.
Every cup of Butterworth & Son coffee reflects the unique terroir and dedication of the people who cultivate it. Last year, our commitment to quality was acknowledged when two of our coffees received Great Taste Awards. We are particularly proud that our coffees are served at numerous cafés, tea rooms and are appreciated by our customers.
Accompanying our offering of high-quality coffee and tea in the past decade is the sharing of knowledge. From the broad understanding of coffee history and origins to the deep dive into coffee flavours and brewing know-how. We are always happy to spark the love for good cup of coffee.
This Valentine’s Day, join us for a fun game and put your knowledge of coffee to the test.
