It may be the cup that cheers, but it seems tea is no longer the beverage of choice for travellers with CalMac.
Latest figures released by the company show that over the summer season it sold more than twice as many cups of coffee than the more traditional choice of hot drink.
The move away from tea in favour of mochas, espressos and cappuccinos is a reflection of wider changing tastes on board, according to CalMac’s, head of customer sales, Kurt Hart.
