Green coffee beans will last for around two years without any noticeable loss of flavor. Green coffee beans should be stored in some sort of container that will allow it to breathe and not impart another flavor to the beans: burlap bags, paper bags, etc.; avoid plastic containers. Storing them at room temperature and out of direct light is fine.

Immediately after roasting, Roast A Bean recommends waiting until the beans have cooled and degassed for at least 4 hours. Flavor will begin to decline after about 10 days, so only roast what you will use in that time. We believe, based upon research that you should roast enough to last 4 to 5 days and use the coffee within 7 to 10 days after roasting to maintain the freshness.

A good rule of thumb is two to three years, but stored properly, green coffee can last many years. In fact, some species are especially prized if they are aged. Store your green coffee beans at 10 to 30 degrees Celsius, or 50 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. While some prefer to store green beans in jute or canvas bags, to allow the beans to breathe, those who store them in plastic bags or jars report no deterioration in quality.

Freshness is one of the key factors that effect the flavor in your cup. The general rule is "the fresher the better". That's why Cafe Milagro roasts your coffee immediately prior to shipment. We encourage you to buy enough coffee to get you through the next several weeks, not months.

Dark roasts will stay fresh for several weeks but light and medium roasts begin to lose their flavor within days. To best enjoy fresh roasted coffee, consume it within a week of roasting. Apart from dark roasts, coffee is at its absolute best in the first day after roasting, with the exception of the first 4 to 6 hours (during this period, the beans rapidly vent some of the CO2 that the roasting process releases). The coffee aroma is also strongest during the first day.

This green coffee bean is the best quality grown thus demanding a higher price in the coffee industry. Arabica green coffee comes from an evergreen plant that grows to a height of 15-20 feet. Arabica green coffees are more acceptable to various pests and are more vulnerable to cold weather conditions. It is grown in the region between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn and flourishes best when grown at high altitudes from 2500 feet to 6500 feet above sea level.

Mainly grown in Brazil and parts of Africa, Robusta coffee trees grow taller, are more resistant to pests and disease, are hardier and produce more beans than Arabica. This variety makes up about a third of the world coffee market. The caffeine content of Robusta beans is about twice that of Arabica. Robusta is often used for instant coffee and supermarket-grade blends.

Yes, the unique flavor each green coffee bean variety carries with it sometimes can be combined with others to create a more complex taste. The art of blending requires knowledge of each bean. Once the characteristics have been determined for that variety, a roaster may combine them to create the desired blend of flavors. Debate exists today among professional coffee roasters whether to roast all the different beans together or separately.

Roast only what you can use within a week. Store the roasted whole bean then grind only enough beans to use just before you prepare your coffee. Each roaster will roast a different amount of beans so you may roast more frequently depending on your choice.

Our soaps usually stay 'good' for years. In fact, the older a soap gets, the longer it will last when you finally combine it with water in your shower. However, time does affect the intensity of a soap's fragrance. For best fragrance, we recommend that you enjoy your soaps within six months of purchase.

Once roasted, coffee begins to lose its flavour the longer it is exposed to air and moisture. We recommend buying your coffee weekly, storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place and grinding it just before brewing. We offer Decent Coffee Canisters to keep your coffee fresher, longer in our online ecommerce shop.
