Coffee StorageUpdated 2 months ago

The best way to open our coffee bags is to use a pair of scissors to cut straight across the top of the bag, leaving the black plastic tie (for 12oz bags) or tape (for 2lb and 5lb bags) attached to the main part of the bag. After opening, coffee can remain in the original bag and be re-sealed with tie or tape for easy storage.

For an increased level of freshness, store coffee in an airtight container at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. This helps keep your coffee as fresh as possible for as long as possible. 

The best time to use coffee is up to 4 weeks after its roast date (month/year labeled on the back of each bag), but can still safely be used up to 6 months after its roast date.
