Bewleys Packet leaf tea - still available?

ifconfig

So Bewleys have disappeared from the high street (which is a pity
indeed). I was never a huge fan of their in-house coffee so my
support of them was mostly to drop in an buy some coffee beans
or full leaf tea.
I like Keemun tea which is one of the more exotic teas which they
sell by the bag. It was a fairly recent range of teas which I guess
Campbells were doing. Some upmarket delicatessens stocked it also.
My question is... does anyone know if Bewleys are still planning to
continue this line of products. My hope would have been that their
future was perhaps in distribution rather than actual retail.

I know there are a couple of online tea retailers. However, I was
curious if Bewleys were still branding products and if so where
they may be distributing them to.

thanks in advance.

To be honest, I can't see Bewley's dropping their lines of coffees and teas, they're very popular.

I agree - The coffee and teabags are distributed to most major
supermarkets but their leaf tea range was quite specialist and
I recall that it was hard to get it anywhere else other than their
own cafes. I'm just wondering if something like that would
be axed on account of the shops going away. I hope I'm
wrong. I think, though I will buy keemun online now.
There is www.theteamerchant.ie and a guy called the tea
merchant who trades in the weekend markets in Dublin.

My absolute favourite is Russian Caravan tea. Can't be got
in Ireland though !

There was a guy who worked in Bewleys cafe talking on the radio when they were closing down the cafe on Grafton St and he was saying that they'll still be producing their usual coffee and tea coz it makes them a fortune.

Thanks for that info Trotter.
I must drop Bewleys a line to see where they distribute the more fancy
teas to (eg, lapsang, keemun, earl grey, jasmine)
