Decaf green storage considerations
How decaffeination alters green coffee beans and what storage practices are needed to preserve quality before roasting.
Hermetic packaging
Preservation strategies
This topic explains the key strategies used to preserve green coffee quality during storage and transport, focusing on packaging, climate control, and handling practices that slow aging and staling.
Sensory changes with aging
This topic explains how the sensory profile of coffee evolves with aging in storage, what chemical changes drive these shifts, and how they influence marketability and cup quality.
Bag permeability and oxygen ingress
This topic explains how the permeability of coffee storage bags affects oxygen exposure, why it accelerates staling, and how different packaging choices influence quality preservation.
Storage temperature and shelf life
This topic explains how storage temperature affects the shelf life of green coffee, the chemistry behind flavor loss, and the best practices to preserve freshness and quality.
Water activity and microbial risk
This topic explains the role of water activity (a-w) in green coffee, how it influences microbial growth, and why controlling it is essential for food safety and quality preservation.
