Coffee shop franchise Esquire Coffee Houses has launched a ranged of loose leaf teas across its network of franchised stores. Esquire Coffee Houses has joined forces with SUKI TEA to launch the range in its 30 UK stores.

The range includes black, green, herbal and fruit infusion teas, which are all sourced and prepared at the SUKI TEA headquarters in Ireland. Each order for the tea is prepared using an infusion tea pot, specific infusion times and temperatures to ensure that the customer receives the best possible experience.

Managing Director of Esquires Coffee Houses UK, Peter Kirton, said: "With such a loyal following of customers, innovation and variety are key to keeping our consumers engaged.

"On a regular basis, we feature seasonal promotions and special edition drinks and snacks. However, we also focus on long term developments such as this to keep ahead of the market.

"We've been looking to expand our tea menu for some time but we just couldn't find the right fit for our company. However, when we came across SUKI TEA, we knew we'd found our match.

"SUKI TEA is no ordinary cuppa! Just like our finest Fairtrade coffees, there is an art to preparing these teas. There's an element of theatre, an experience not often seen on the high street and that's what Esquires is all about.

"The products are hand made to very high standards, they look, small and taste amazing and there are Fairtrade options available. They're the perfect fit for our company."
