Packaging sustainability and recycling
The environmental impact of coffee packaging, challenges with recycling, and innovations that aim to make packaging more sustainable.
Jute bags
Triangle testing and statistics
How triangle testing is used in coffee sensory science to determine whether detectable differences exist between samples, and how statistics validate the results.
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.
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.
Oxidation and staling pathways
This topic explains how oxidation and staling occur in green coffee, the chemical pathways involved, and their impact on flavor, quality, and shelf life.
Moisture migration and condensation control
This topic explains how moisture migration occurs inside coffee shipments, why condensation (“container rain”) is a risk, and the strategies used to protect green coffee quality during transport.
