BLUE APPLE LAUNCHES BESPOKE
COFFEE PIP & BEAN
Blue Apple Catering has launched Pip & Bean
Co ee, a bespoke blend of the finest Arabica
beans, developed in-house with Bewley’s Tea
and Co ee.
Contract caterers compete with high street
brands on a daily basis and co ee is one of
the most important o erings to get absolutely
right. Previously, Blue Apple provided a range of
di erent co ees, including high street brands,
but knew the time was right to create a blend
and brand that tasted great and captured their
company values, hence the name Pip & Bean.
Passion, Integrity, Pride (that’s the Pip!) and
Sustainability makes the bean. Design and Brand
Manager Jo Billing said: “We have created a co ee
to call our own that embodies our core values
and one with a story that we are truly passionate
about.”
Blue Apple worked in partnership with Bewley’s –
a company that shares many of Blue Apple’s values
in terms of sustainability, Fairtrade, respect for its
people and passion for its product. Bewley’s has
been producing the finest blends of co ee and tea
since 1840, and were steadfast in their promise
that, together, a blend would be created that
not one member of the team could imagine
being any better.
The Fairtrade and organic Pip & Bean blend is
slow roasted to a medium colour and produces
a co ee that is satisfyingly complex in flavour.
Notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar and white
grape are at the forefront of the profile, and the
balance between sweetness and acidity has
been perfectly judged. From a simple espresso,
to a latte, a flat white and hopefully a frappe or
two in the warmer months, it is a co ee that is
as versatile as it is delicious.
Featuring beans sourced from Comisuyl, a
progressive co-op of small co ee farmers in the
village of Subirana in Honduras, it is Central
America’s first working dry mill and the world’s
first o grid co ee processing centre, powered
100% by renewable energy technology. This fits
perfectly with Blue Apple’s sustainability and
CSR goals across the business and crucially,
helps to support a vitally important industry
that has given so much to the UK co ee market
for so many years.

Origins
Started by Anders

across northern and
eastern Europe in the
years since to become
the 19-country-strong

desks every month!
Chosen by The
Telegraph earlier this
year to represent Great British Business, AJ
Products UK embraces its Swedish roots but
adds a distinctly British twist, choosing the best
manufacturing partners from around the UK to join
its own manufactured products and those sourced
from across Europe in order to be a brand that
customers can rely on for quality and choice.
Looking to the future
In recent years, the business has dedicated its
years of experience to developing a range of
sit-stand o ice furniture to improve employee
health and wellbeing by combatting the dangers
of sedentary behaviour. There is extensive
research to suggest that a sedentary lifestyle can
lead to health conditions including obesity, type
2 diabetes, heart disease and musculoskeletal
problems. A proud member of ukactive, AJ
encourages people to get fit while they work
through a selection of a ordable sit-stand desks
and active o ice furniture. Moreover, the company
is uniquely situated to be able to help businesses
