Christmas Tea - In the middle ages spices were a valuable means of payment. The warm and exotic aroma of this winter tea with orange peel, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla is reminiscent of Christmas and looks as enticing as it tastes.

Earl Grey Blue Lady - a popular earl grey tea blue flower variation, this Earl Grey black tea has genuine oil of bergamot, mallow blossom and blue cornflowers added for a floral version of the Earl Grey flavour, aesthetically pleasing with a wonderful, slightly citrus taste.

Lady Grapefruit - Black China tea blended with dried mallow flowers, aromatic dried marigold flowers and an uplifting grapefruit flavour to make a bright, citrus and floral version of the classic earl grey flavour.

Vanilla - considered the queen of all spices. The vanilla pod is the fruit of an orchid species, which has its home in Mexico. The hand pollinated blossoms produce ripe fruit after 8 months and are then treated to a complicated fermentation process. The pods change colour and develop their full aroma. The exquisite, intense and very popular taste of vanilla harmonises marvellously with our black tea blend.

Rose Congou - blended with rose petals to give a sweet fragrant taste. This delicately scented tea is made from a traditional Congou tea, but with the added delicacy of Rose Petals. It has a delightfully clear, amber infusion with a sweet, fragrant taste and is best drunk without milk.

Earl Grey - For a superior flavour, we blend top grade Assam TGFOP with oil of bergamot. Named after a famous British prime minister, the second Earl Grey, this tea first appeared early in the 19th century, however its exact provenance is not clear. We think bergamot oil was perhaps originally added to prevent mould forming on the tea on its long voyage to England.

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.
