China Keemun Mao Feng Green Tea - Loose Green Tea

£6.50 GBP

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.  An impressive quality tea from the province of Zhejian this tea is harvested in early April from bushes growing at an altitude of about 500-600m.  The dark green curled sinensis leaf releases a fine bouquet and brews a lemon yellow liquor and is tender and soft in taste.

4-5 heaped tsp/litre 75-80c water for 1-3 mins.

This is the legend of Mao Feng Tea

Once upon a time there was a young couple very much in love. One day, the local landowner stole the girl away to be his wife. She managed to escape, but, in his fury, her husband had her young love killed. Finding his body in a cave in the mountain, she fell down and wept in utter despair. The mountain goddess took pity on her, and transformed the young man into a tea bush, and the girl, as she wept, became raindrops and mist. And so, to this day, the mountainous county of Qimen is blessed with abundant rains and mists, as the girl’s tears gently caress and support the tea bushes to produce some of the finest teas in China.

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.
