Hi All,
A short one this week . . . roasting on Monday (April 19) and delivering and shipping Tuesday. The coffees for this week are shown on the website.
Included there are some nice new offerings from Papua New Guinea and Burundi - both very accessible coffees that are nice to drink all day.
Several of you have asked recently about whether (and when) it is OK to freeze coffee. My short answer is yes, if it will take you longer than a week to consume coffee after you open it. Freezing will stop the staling process, and if you keep it in a tightly closed container, and maintain it frozen, you won't see much loss in flavor. I don't recommend freezing coffee you get from us that was just roasted - leave it at room temperature for a few days to rest (the flavor improves a lot in this process) and then freeze it if you need to. I don't like refrigerating coffee.
Here's a nice article from Home Barista on the subject if you'd like to explore this further:
Thanks for your support, folks - enjoy the weekend!
