Description	About River Bend.
Summary	The history of the River Bend company has been long and steeped in tradition, 37 years of making and selling Teas and Coffee
Body	The River Bend Tea & Coffee company has not always been as big as it is today, when John Bergland set up the business back in 1971 it was running from his home with 1 employee, himself.  Back then John used his families experience roasting coffee to give a unique flavour & texture to the beans his coffee was made from.  John just sold coffee then, today things are different. Today the River Bend products are in demand by our customers, we still use the same family style of roasting but we've also gone back through the family archives to adopt the same values across our entire product range. River Bend strives to ensure the best experience in store with the best true Italian style and quality coffee & teas.  Unlike many other coffee companies and stores we make many of our products, tea and coffee included on site in our stores.  This means you get the best and we save costs and the planet at the same time.
