RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORAGE AND USE

COFFEE WANTS TO REST IN A COOL PLACE AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT AND SEALED BAGS

OUR COFFEE REACHES ITS PEAK FLAVOR 04 WEEKS AFTER ROASTING FOR BEANS THAT ARE NOT PACKAGED AND ARE SERVED DIRECTLY AT OUR STORE CHAIN. FOR PACKAGED COFFEE INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION, WE APPLY FLAVOR-LOCKING TECHNOLOGY. AS A NATURAL RESULT, IT MAY TAKE 8 – 12 WEEKS, OR EVEN UP TO 16 WEEKS AFTER ROASTING, FOR THE COFFEE TO REACH ITS PEAK FLAVOR (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RESTING TIME REQUIRED TO REACH PEAK FLAVOR IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE COFFEE REMAINS SEALED IN FLAVOR-LOCKING PACKAGING. THE LONGER THE COFFEE STAYS IN AN AIRTIGHT BAG, THE LONGER IT WILL TAKE TO DEGAS AND REACH ITS OPTIMAL PEAK).

OUR COFFEE MAINTAINS ITS AROMA SPECTRUM WITHIN 06 MONTHS OF OPENING THE BAG, AND THE QUALITY GRADUALLY DECREASES

OUR COFFEE IS PACKED WITH FLAVOR-LOCKING TECHNOLOGY, SO IT CAN BE PRESERVED FOR 02 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF PRODUCTION WHEN UNOPENED. WE ALSO RECOMMEND NOT USING IT WHEN FIRST OPENING THE BAG. PLEASE OPEN AND CLOSE THE BAG FOR ANOTHER 03 DAYS TO FULLY RELEASE THE FLAVOR-LOCKING ENCAPSULATION TECHNOLOGY

OUR COFFEE WILL CLEARLY SHOW THE FLAVOR DESCRIPTION AFTER 03 DAYS FROM WHEN YOU OPEN AND CLOSE THE BAG FOR THE FIRST TIME.
