FANCY A COLD ONE?
• UNPASTEURISED • 4 WEEK SHELF LIFE • STORE CHILLED • KEPT IN STOCK
Cold Brew Coffee has been making its mark on the UK coffee scene for the past year and with signs that 2015 is the year it will move into the mainstream, there is no better time to get Sandows Cold Brew Coffee into your establishment. The brainchild of Luke Suddards and Hugh Duffie, Sandows is one of only a few cold brew coffees available commercially in the UK, and the guys have used all of their knowledge and passion for it to develop their own customised brewing method.
HOW DOES IT TASTE? Sandows Cold Brew Coffee is smooth, has low acidity and makes for a delicious black iced coffee that also goes great with milk and is really versatile with alcohol too.
A lot of effort is also put into sourcing only the finest coffee beans, each variety having slight nuances of flavour, which are often heightened by the cold brew process. The origin of the coffee within each bottle is stated on the label, which wraps around the iconic whiskey style bottle.

READ MORE ABOUT SANDOWS COLD BREW
WHAT IS COLD BREW? Not to be confused with iced coffee, cold brewing is the process of brewing coffee with water that is already cold. Sandows slowly brew theirs for around 18 hours and then triple filter it for clarity and intensity of flavour.
We now have a handy brochure in which you can find out everything you need to know about our current range. Dimensions, pastry type, case size and an actual size photo of each case so you know exactly what you are getting. If you would like to request a copy then please call our telesales team on 01580 212818 or contact your account manager.

IT HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING... month here at Turners, as we have been taking on lots of new items just in time for summer. Two new cold drinks, from very different parts of the country, lead the way with North London born Sandows Cold Brew Coffee and Devon's own Luscombe organic drinks being added to our product range. We feel both have their place in the market and expect both to be popular so we definitely think you should give them a try. Our other major development is the use of our meat slicing room to provide a new way of buying charcuterie. We have had lots of customers ask us if we do single serving meat selections, so we are happy to now be able to offer that to you. As our Fresh Produce department continues to grow we see more and more products being kept in stock. Our guys will now be holding stock of some superb micro cresses from Westlands that are available next day; no need to pre-order.

Just in time for summer we have a new range of refreshing, organic soft drinks from Devon based Luscombe Drinks. Using ingredients from UK growers where possible, their hunt for the finest ingredients also takes them to Sicily for their lemons, Peru for their ginger and Spain for apricots. They don't use concentrates, additives, preservatives, colourants or flavourings and with some interesting flavours available we think Luscombe are going to be an instant hit.

INTRODUCING...
CHARLOTTE RALPH
Charlotte has been an integral part of our telesales team for just over five years, so chances are you will have spoken to her at some point. As part of the team she takes orders from customers over the phone or via email and also helps with product enquiries and customer queries. When she is not at work, Charlotte enjoys spending time with her two children, keeping fit in the gym or going for a run if the weather is nice. She is currently training for her first 5K run in July, which she is doing with four other girls from the Turners office. Good luck ladies! Charlotte also likes to turn her hand to a bit of home-baking and in-fact if she wasn't working with us, she would love to be a Pastry Chef. Born in Ireland, where much of her family still live, Charlotte recently took her children there for the first time and whilst there managed to pay a visit to the Ballina Salmon Festival. If she could go anywhere in the world, Charlotte would love to travel around America on a 'Man vs Food' style tour or visit Norway so she could witness the Northern Lights with her own eyes.
