Ferns proudly features freshly brewed New England Coffee and The Republic of Tea

New England Coffee -- A family of flavors
(Discover Larry's unique connection to this fourth generation local company! Click here)

New England Coffee chooses only the finest 100% Arabica coffee beans from Central America, South America, Eastern Africa, and the East Indies, fresh-roasted for consistently exceptional taste and quality. Ferns offers New England Coffees superb blends, delicious flavored coffees, exotic varietals, and full-bodied roasts to suit every taste. Every day batches of coffee beans are roasted by hand and "cupped" (taste tested) for quality control. Scientific taste profiles and computerized roasting helps maintain the consistency of every cup. New England Coffee produces five coffee categories: "Flavored" coffees - created by combining the New England Breakfast Blend with the finest flavorings (with no fat or cholesterol); "Blends" - a mixture of two or more coffees, which compliment each other's taste; "Varieties" - straight, unblended coffees, offering the flavor of their distinct bean varieties; "Decaf" -97% caffeine-free with all the great taste of regular coffee; and finally a "French Roast" - for those who love drip-brewing or espresso.

What you'll find at Ferns:
Freshly ground EyeOpener (regular) -- An American Post Blend that is a mixture of light and dark coffees blended after roasting. Kind of the best of the blends coming together!

Kauai -- Kauai Estate Reserve Coffee comes from the "Garden Island" of Kauai in Hawaii where the Pacific sun, rich volcanic earth, clean mountain rain, and cool trade winds combined create ideal conditions for growing excellent 100% Hawaiian coffee that you will savor. Kauai is a pleasantly aromatic City Roast with an even chestnut brown color, also referred to as "medium" roast. It's smooth, mellow taste features a medium body with balanced acidity.

New England Full City Roast - A more robust, dark brown, developing the full flavor potential of the bean.

Fair Trade Decaf - 97% caffeine-free Fair Trade Certified Coffee that is grown by approximately 300 farmer cooperatives in over 22 countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. More than 550,000 farmers and their families around the world are connected to the Fair Trade market.

The Republic of Tea
(Read about how Robin & Larry happened upon The Republic of Tea and why it's Ferns exclusive tea of choice! Click here)

The Republic of Tea sells only full-leaf teas made from hand picked young shoots, the two leaves and a bud that sprout from the very tip of the tea bush. The whole leaves retain their unique essential oils and are full-bodied and deliciously aromatic. This full-leaf experience is better tasting and much more diverse in its range of subtle flavors than the teas that other companies sell. While we encourage drinking full-leaf tea whenever possible, we offer the finest teas you will find in a bag. Each single cup serving is made from round, natural, unbleached paper and is free from wasteful envelopes, tags and string. The Republic of Tea sells full-leaf tea because it's simply better tasting and much more diverse in its range of subtle flavors than the cut leaves or tea dust you will find in most tea bags. All of our teas undergo correct crafting to ensure that we offer only the finest, freshest, healthiest teas in the world. As an example, unlike other tea companies which use ethyl acetate to dacaf their teas, our decaf teas are decaffeinated using an all natural CO2/ high pressure process, a process that is more costly but retains the valuable health promoting properties of tea.

What you'll find at Ferns:
A host of flavors available by the cup or tin! Our range of flavors will keep you coming back to try new tastes! In addition we also carry a lovely line of special gift items including a delightful sampler package containing 24 tea bags and a gift set that includes a tin of tea along with a single cup infuser.
