Storing beans:
Whole beans maintain freshness for up to a year in a vacuum sealed or nitrogen flushed bag.
Good quality bags have a one-way valve that allows gas and heat (from roasting) to escape but no air
to enter the bag. Once freed from their quality packaging the clock begins ticking.
The greatest dangers to roasted coffee beans are air, moisture, and light.
Store unused beans in an air tight, opaque container, away from direct sunlight or extreme
temperatures. Beans kept in a freezer can collect moisture from the freezing and thawing process and
worse could absorb flavors from the foods stored around it.
