City have welcomed Stokes on board as new bronze partners of the club.
Aroma, tradition, and community are the hallmarks of Stokes Tea & Coffee, a Lincoln institution since 1895. The team at Stokes strive to enrich lives, foster connections and be an integral part of the city’s fabric.
Danish duo Lasse Sorensen and Lukas Jensen have been along to Stokes Headquarters in Lincoln to celebrate the partnership and go head to head in a latte art competition which can be seen below.
What Stokes do…

Tea blending: Stokes curate an extensive selection of loose-leaf teas, sourcing exceptional leaves from around the world and create exclusive blends.
Cafes: Experience Stokes passion firsthand at our vibrant cafes, offering delicious coffee, tea, and food in a welcoming atmosphere.
Barista training: Stokes equip aspiring baristas with the skills and knowledge to create exceptional coffee experiences.
Nick Peel, managing director of Stokes, said: “We weren't just thrilled to partner with the Imps; we were ecstatic! Recently, we had the privilege of welcoming Lasse Sorensen and Lukas Jensen to our HQ, The Lawn. Immersing themselves in the world of Stokes, they toured our roastery, savoured a coffee tasting, and even honed their barista skills under the guidance of our expert staff. It was an experience that brewed excitement for both sides, and we can't wait to share more coffee-fuelled moments with the team.
“Our shared passion for Lincoln, dedication to excellence, and commitment to the community make this a match made in brewing heaven. We're looking forward to cheering on the Imps, offering coffee and tea experiences to possibly more players, staff plus certainly Imps fans that would like to know more, and becoming an even bigger part of the Lincoln story.”
Adam Chantrey, City’s head of commercial, said: “We would like to offer a warm welcome to the team at Stokes who have joined as club partners. This partnership is a perfect blend and we are excited to be working with them closely over the coming months.”
