Detailed description:
The smell of history at Farrer's is as strong as the smell of tea and coffee. The building itself dates from the 17th century and is a grade 2 listed building, from where Liverpool Tea Merchant John Farrer started his business in 1819. Since 1990 the proprietors of Farrer's have been Gordon and Gillian Grace from Lancashire. The huge tea counter inside the main entrance is a listed feature as are the twenty original tea canisters behind it.
Canisters which carry names like - Pure Assam, Lakeland Special, Formosa Oolong, Jasmine, Green Gunpowder, Rose Petal and many more. To the left of the short flight of steps up into the coffee sales area is the original Victorian coffee grinder dating back to 1853. Presumably somebody with big muscles used to operate it, such is its size.
Fortunately technology has moved on and grinding is done at the touch of a button. The coffee beans ( already roasted at John Farrer & Co, shap Road, Kendal ) are stored in either bins or brass boxes from where the smell of Kenya AA, Colombian or Maragogype filters out to the rest of the shop.
