Complete Coffee

Complete Coffee Ltd. (CCL) is a green (raw) and soluble (instant) coffee merchant and aims for a 'one-stop shop' approach for its customers. CCL celebrated 85 years' service to the international coffee trade and industry in 2014. It trades via two trading divisions, "Ridge & Breminer" and "Priory Tea & Coffee" buying direct from growers in South Am... erica, Africa, India and Asia and selling to roasters, retailers, packers, food service and vending companies throughout the UK, Europe and other parts of the world.
