Our Christmas Favourites gift pack. The beans are all roasted to order for you and can be sent directly to your gift recipient. We package your gift selection in a Christmas gift box with your message on a gift tag*. The price includes delivery in the UK and the following coffees.

250g each of the following :

Christmas Blend - a well balanced coffee blend and has a full-bodied flavour with a hint of spiciness. It has a subdued acidity with sweet hazelnut notes and a mild vanilla-caramel finish.

Gourmet Blend - Our best-selling blend by far is a union of flavours from South American, Indian and Indonesian beans resulting in a very smooth, low acidity coffee which makes it very easy to drink at any time of day. Gourmet Blend is a versatile coffee with a clean, mellow flavour and very little aftertaste which makes it suited to all brewing methods.

Espresso Blend - Our Espresso Blend is a bold, expertly crafted fusion of dark roasted beans from the world’s most renowned coffee-growing regions—Africa, India, South America, and Indonesia. With its intense, smooth, and richly satisfying flavour, this blend offers a full-bodied taste that’s both robust and refined, with just the right amount of bite. Whether you’re craving the intensity of espresso or the ease of a mellow brew, Espresso Blend delivers an exceptional experience every time.

Monsoon Malabar - so called because the beans are exposed to the moist monsoon winds in the Indian state of Kerala for a few months. From June through September, the selected beans are exposed to moisture-laden monsoon winds in well ventilated warehouses. The monsooning process involves careful handling, repeated spreading, raking and turning around at regular intervals. The beans absorb moisture and get significantly larger, turning a pale golden colour and take on a soft mellow flavour. The coffee has distinct nutty and chocolate notes with a slightly spicy flavour and a clean finish. A delicious and satisfying full bodied cup with low acidity.

Colombia - These large coffee beans are packed with delicious flavours of caramel, walnut and chocolate and has been likened to banoffee pie! The coffee has a buttery mouthfeel and a sweet, pleasing acidity. Cafe Sofia Supremo makes a delicious espresso but is equally at home as a brewed coffee

Sumatra - Gayo Mountain coffee is grown in the Aceh province at the most northern point of Sumatra in the volcanic soil of the mountain basin around lake Tawar. Gayo Mountain coffee has been shade grown and processed meticulously then roasted medium-dark resulting in a sweet rounded flavour, rich velvety body with notes of chocolate.

How will my coffee be packaged?

We use heat sealed bags with a one-way valve (to let gases escape but none in) and this will keep your coffee fresh for up to four months unopened (if you really want to keep it that long!) We use box-bottomed resealable valve bags as our default but if you want the tall non-resealable valve bags then please ask in the notes for order section. We then pack your bags of coffee into bespoke cardboard boxes. These will prevent your coffee from being damaged in transit and are 100% recyclable.

Where does The Bean Shop deliver to?

We currently deliver all over the UK and Europe. It can get a bit tricky further afield than that as it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track on the parcel's whereabouts. To be honest there is probably a coffee roaster a bit closer if you're outside Europe anyway!

How much does postage cost?

No-one really likes paying for postage but in order to avoid increasing our prices we have opted to charge a flat-rate of £3.00 for all our UK orders. This is expensive if you only buy one bag of coffee but becomes very reasonable if you order more bags. We use Royal Mail 1st class for orders up to 3 bags. For orders 4 bags and over we use DPD 48 hour delivery as a default (this option will require a signature upon delivery.)

In geographically isolated areas of the UK, DPD can take longer than 48 hours so we have added the option of paying for Royal Mail which could be more efficient.

How long will it take?

We aim to deliver your order within 48 hours of receiving it (under normal circumstances) and are often much quicker! During peak periods (i.e. Christmas) your order may take a little longer due to delays or extreme weather conditions.

If I'm not in?

For orders of 1 bag of coffee our boxes are post-box friendly so should be delivered whether or not you're in. For larger parcels, usually the delivery person will leave a card saying it has been returned to the post depot where you can collect it from. Many customers find it easier to have their coffee delivered to their place of work so that there is always someone there to accept it.
