STORAGE TIPS

1. Airtight Containers: Always store coffee in airtight containers to prevent exposure to air, which can lead to staleness and loss of flavor.
2. Cool and Dark Place: Keep your coffee in a cool, dark location, such as a pantry or cupboard, away from heat sources and direct sunlight to maintain freshness.
3. Buy in Small Batches: Purchase coffee in small quantities, ideally between 250 to 500 grams, to ensure you consume it while it’s fresh and enjoy the full flavor profile.
4.  Avoid Moisture: Keep coffee away from moisture, as it can cause mold and spoilage. Never store coffee in the fridge or freezer, which can introduce humidity.
