Cafe Campesino ...from crop to cup a Fair Trade (#)
„Just store them in an airtight, moisture-proof container in a cool dry place (but not the refrigerator). If you must store beans for longer than a month, you can freeze them (in an airtight, moisture-proof container). However, freezing (and especially the thawing and refreezing that can occur when taking the beans in and out of the freezer every day) increases the likelihood that moisture will creep into the porous bean and the quality of the coffee will deteriorate. In addition, the flavor "oils" (which are not really oils at all, but a mixture of soluble and insoluble elements) that form on the outside of the beans during roasting will flake off because extreme temperature changes deteriorate bean structure (similar to how sidewalks crack as a result of moisture seepage and temperature change or the undesirable taste that ice cream gets when it's thawed and refrozen).“

„Keep beans and ground coffee in an air-tight container. Make sure not to buy large quantities of coffee at a time (no more than a month's worth.) * Store the airtight container in a slightly cool, dark place at a temperature between 50º and 70ºF.“

„Each lot of coffee beans must be approved by an expert cupping panel (at least 7 panel members per session), working in blind sessions. At least two samples of other coffees from the same area must be included for purposes of comparison.“

„Roasted whole coffee beans keep fairly well. The bean itself is a protective package, albeit a fragile one. Stored in a dry, airtight container to prevent contamination or contact with moisture, roasted whole-bean coffee holds its flavor and aroma for about a week.“
