COFFEE FRESHNESS-Update

Hello Coffee Lovers,

For the past three days I have enjoyed our Vita blend that was roasted on February 8th! (It is March 9th today) The coffee was very good. I have tested several refrigerated samples in the last two weeks and I’m ready to state that with proper handling our roasted coffee stays perfect for one month in the refrigerator!…here is exactly what I did for this test. (Samples included Ugandan Ekende, Vita Blend and Dolce Blend.)

In all test batches the beans were held at room temperature, at or below 70 degrees F. for two or three days to simulate shipping conditions that our coffee will go through for online orders, then placed in the refrigerator and held around 45 degrees in the original bags. Shots featured full flavor and viscosity with normal crema production.

From personal experience I know that coffee is very temperature sensitive so I’m not sure this will apply to the summer months. It will depend on the temperatures the coffee is exposed to during shipping.
