You should instantly know when your parcel of deliciousness arrives as it will have a lovely subtle coffee scent.
Take care when opening the box, especially if using a knife, add the coffee bags might be very close to the outside edge of the parcel and easily cut/torn.
Make a note of the roast date and add your own 'opened date' if you want to be specific about resting time.
Don't open the bag if you're planning open resting them: Oxygen causes coffee to oxidize, which makes it go stale faster. Freshly roasted coffee beans release carbon dioxide (CO2) as they age. One-way valve bags are designed to let this CO2 escape without allowing air to re-enter the bag. This means the CO2 can leave while preventing oxygen from coming back in. By limiting the coffee’s exposure to oxygen, these bags help keep the coffee fresher for longer by reducing the time it is in contact with air. This simple packaging innovation is key to preserving the aroma and flavor of coffee after roasting, ensuring a better experience for coffee lovers.
Check here for recommended resting times and, if you want and have the patience, allow them to sit in a cool dark place for that period of time before opening and enjoying.
Alternatively you can just rip the delivered box open like an ape and enjoy straight away!!
