Tie Guan Yin - This Tie Guan Yin Oolong is an Anxi-style tea, which means that it is lightly oxidised, retaining many of the delicate floral aspects that are a closer to a light green tea without the grassiness or astringency. This type of oolong has become known as a ‘jade’ or ‘green’ oolong due to the light appearance and colour that is reflected both in the leaves of this tea as well as the light coloured liquor.

Jasmine Yin Hao Lotus - Finest green (slightly fermented) silver tip tea which is infused several times with jasmine blossom.

Sencha Gyokuro - Gyokuro, a shade grown steamed green tea, is among the finest and most highly prized of Japanese teas. While the young leaves of the spring season develop, the Gyokuro plants are shaded from the sun for three weeks before the harvest with special sheets. This slows the growth allowing tea leaves more time to develop depth and flavour.

Sencha Fukujyu - Sencha tea generally yields clear, pale-green cups that carry many of the same vegetative grassy notes common to all Japanese teas.

Lung Ching Dragonwell - Dragon Well is the most famous of all the Chinese teas and has been documented thousands of years ago in the Tang Dynasty which was the golden age of cosmopolitan culture in the Chinese civilisation.

Mao Feng - The Mao Feng leaf is in the shape of large needles or bird tongue, and very uniform in size and shape. The tea has an orchid like fragrance and beautiful delicate flavour. This is a refreshing tea ideal for drinking at any time, particularly after a meal.

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.
