Proper storage of green coffee beans is essential to preserving their quality, which will shine during the roasting process. Even the finest beans can lose their flavor and aroma if not stored correctly. At Green Coffee Hub, we specialize in the storage and supply of fresh coffee beans, and we know how to keep them in perfect condition. Here are our key recommendations to help you avoid common mistakes.
Monitor Temperature and Humidity
Green coffee is highly sensitive to its environment. The optimal storage temperature is 18 to 22°C, with humidity levels not exceeding 60%. Fluctuations in these parameters can cause beans to age prematurely or develop mold. Our Tashkent warehouses are equipped with climate control systems that maintain stable storage conditions. This ensures that our beans retain their freshness and quality throughout the entire storage period.
Use Appropriate Packaging
Packaging plays a critical role in protecting coffee beans from external factors. At Green Coffee Hub, we use two types of packaging to ensure optimal preservation:
- GrainPro Bags: These airtight bags create a sealed environment that protects beans from moisture, oxygen, and unwanted odors, ensuring freshness even in high-humidity conditions.
- Jute Bags: These provide natural ventilation, allowing the beans to “breathe.” GrainPro Bags are often placed inside jute bags, offering double-layered protection for the product.
This combination of packaging preserves the beans’ natural aroma and ensures their high quality throughout transportation and storage.
Minimize Storage Time
While green coffee beans can retain their properties for up to 12 months, we recommend using them within the first 6–8 months to achieve optimal flavor. At Green Coffee Hub, we focus on maintaining a consistent supply of fresh beans, so you don’t need to stockpile and risk a decline in quality. Our flexible purchasing options allow clients to plan volumes according to their specific needs.
Choose Reliable Suppliers
The quality of your beans depends directly on how they are stored and transported. At Green Coffee Hub, we partner exclusively with trusted producers from Brazil, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and other top coffee-producing countries. Our Tashkent warehouse serves as a logistics hub for Central Asia and Russia, ensuring fast delivery and stringent quality checks at every stage.
Regularly Inspect Bean Quality
Even under perfect storage conditions, it’s important to periodically inspect your beans. This ensures they haven’t been affected by mold, excessive dryness, or foreign odors. At Green Coffee Hub, quality control begins at the point of bean reception and continues until the product is shipped to our clients. We pay attention to every detail to deliver beans that are ready for use.
