Unroasted beans have been said to last many years, however they produce the best flavours within 2-3 years. Proper storage is key to keeping your green beans fresh. Storing the beans at 10 to 30℃ in a dark room is recommended. If you plan to store the coffee beans for a long period of time, a burlap or cotton bag is optimal. These fabrics will allow the beans to breathe. Keeping the beans dry is also important hence, storing them at around 60% humidity is ideal.
Freezing or refrigerating beans is not recommended as the beans will absorb aromas and flavours of the other contents of your fridge or freezer due to the beans porous nature.
