Our Suppliers

Exchange Coffee

At The Harris Café, we’re proud to serve coffee made with beans from Exchange Coffee, a local roaster based here in Lancashire.

For our espresso-based coffees, we use Exchange Coffee’s Great Taste Award winning Rainforest Espresso – a 100% Arabica blend made exclusively with ethically produced Rainforest Alliance coffees from South and Central America. It’s a beautifully balanced full medium espresso roast, with a rich body, subtle sweetness and vibrant acidity.

For those who prefer to go decaf, our Decaffeinated Espresso offers all the flavour without the caffeine. Smooth and dark with delicious biscuity notes, it’s proof that choosing decaf doesn’t mean compromising on taste.

Supporting local suppliers is important to us at The Harris, which is why we’re delighted to work with a Lancashire-based roaster. Exchange roasts each batch by hand ensuring quality, consistency and freshness in your cup. Exchange Coffee has also been partnering with the Rainforest Alliance for over 20 years, helping to support more sustainable farming and protect the communities and environments at the heart of coffee production.

So, whether you take yours strong, smooth or decaffeinated, you can enjoy your coffee knowing that great taste and responsible sourcing go hand in hand.

Lancashire Tea

At The Harris we use Lancashire Tea for our brews, originally developed to complement the taste of the region’s water. Never weak or watery and not overpowering in taste, their tea-bags have a humble strength and Red Rose spirit, making it the perfect choice for The Harris. Their tea-bags are 100% biodegradable and their teas are sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms helping to ensure that the farmers and workers who grow and pick our tea enjoy a better quality of life. Allowing us at The Harris to strive towards sustainability. Lancashire Tea want to give back all over the county with their communi-tea grant designed for helping community organisations or charities across the area along with a heap of teabags. A cup of tea can be a great catalyst for conversation and connect people through shared experiences, Lancashire Tea is all for the communi-tea.
