About Us and Our Core Values

ABOUT US

Welcome to The Bean and Bag, an online store rooted in a rich family history of tea and coffee appreciation. Our story began over a decade ago in 2013, with a small family-run tea shop in the picturesque town of Bakewell. After a decade of serving our local community, we sold the café in 2023. However, our passion for tea and coffee didn’t end there; it evolved. Inspired by our beloved café’s legacy, we decided to carry forward the name and spirit into a new venture—an online premium tea and coffee store dedicated to delivering the finest products to your front door.

As passionate foodies, there’s nothing we love more than sharing our enthusiasm for exceptional tea and coffee! Our mission at The Bean and Bag is to offer more than just a beverage; we offer an experience steeped in tradition, quality, and care.


OUR CORE VALUES

Our values are built on three core pillars: relationships, quality, and sustainability.

1. Relationships:

We value the deep connections we’ve cultivated with our local suppliers, many of whom have supported us since our café days and continue to share our vision today. But the most important relationship is with you, our customer. Your passion and engagement allow us to bring the finest tea and coffee directly to your doorstep, ensuring your complete satisfaction and enjoyment.

2. Quality:

We believe in offering only the highest quality products and services. Backed by over 100 years of knowledge, we’ve partnered with the best distributors to source some of the world’s finest teas and coffees. Every cup is a testament to our commitment to excellence.

3. Sustainability:

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just providing great tea and coffee. We are dedicated to ethical sourcing, supporting farms that adhere to fair labor practices and ensuring safe working conditions. We also strive to minimize our environmental impact, considering every step of our operation to ensure we leave the planet better than we found it.

At The Bean and Bag, we invite you to join us on this journey, savouring the finest teas and coffees while supporting a business that values relationships, quality, and sustainability.

Thank you for letting us share our passion with you!
