Our own label tea bags, cocoa, and vending products are inspired by our international endeavours, where we source fresh flavours from around the world to our shop in Chesterfield. Through this, we've become synonymous with our high-quality products. We personally source our international teas by taking individual trips to suppliers from all over the world.
This helps us to truly experience the mastery of tea-making and discover the very finest tea and coffee. At Northern Tea Merchants, we always aim to buy from smallholders' cooperative, who represents a group of farmers in a region. So, all our tea is tried and tested to guarantee excellent quality and consistency.

For so long we have wanted to visit yet never had the opportunity. Well the wait was worth it. Such a lovely experience. Set in beautiful surroundings we had a pot of tea and a lovely breakfast. Customer service is outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and can’t wait to go back. Please visit if you want something special.

Coffee is nice but communication between the back office and front of house is terrible. This has meant that every time we go to collect 8kg of coffee there is an issue, ranging from "the coffee is in the back and they are on lunch" to "the coffee is not there even though you rang and confirmed that it was ready whilst you were in the hour long traffic jam to get here".
I can't use them again for bulk coffee orders as it has happened far too often. I'm trying other suppliers.

In theory, I should love this place. They have an great selection of teas. Some are very good, some do however lack character.. The real issue is how unbelievably judgemental the staff are here at this place. Could you imagine a working in a shop where people come who like niche teas or coffees and being condescending to them for liking such things? Say you disagree with me compared to your experience, fair enough. How about, talking about customers, to other customers while they are sitting in the cafe and can hear you? By any margin that is extremely unprofessional/rude, I would know, I was trained

A unique place, we popped in for a coffee and felt like we'd walked into a Victorian coffee merchants house. There are large wooden boxes distributed in a U shape allowing you to pick your blend of bean. Probably 30 different blends with a good description of each. You can literally pick who h o e you want to drink and the for d them and put them in a cafetiere for you. You can also buy any weight of coffee that the either give you as bean or grind to your requirements!! My pictures do t do it justice

I have used Northern Tea Merchants for many years but won't be doing so any longer.
This is not a comment about the cafe but relates to the so called specialist supply of quality coffee.
I purchased several coffees and had them ground for cafetiere use.
The first one I opened was so coarse that it was impossible to make a decent brew.
They were all taken back and I was told that there was a problem with the 'grinder'.
Someone came and 'fixed' it and I was presented with replacement 'freshly ground' coffees.
Back home I used two of these which were reasonably ok
