Alan O'Connor

Founded in 1840, Bewley’s is Ireland’s leading coffee and tea company. We’ve been perfecting the craft of tea and coffee making for many generations, from our humble beginnings in a little shop on Sycamore Alley in Dublin, Ireland, to the home and heart of our brand, our Grafton Street Café, right through to our present day operations across the globe in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our Quaker origins are at the heart of our company, guiding our business practices and the development of long-term sustainable supply relationships with the world’s best tea and coffee producers. From five star hotels to independent coffee shops, we serve over 600 million cups of tea and coffee worldwide every year, so we know a thing or two about crafting the perfect taste for even the pickiest of palettes. Some 175 years on from our beginnings we still love tea and coffee. It’s our passion and we want to share this with you.
