Coffee Freshness
When was my coffee roasted?

Every bag of coffee includes a roast date printed on the packaging.

We roast regularly to ensure freshness and quality.

How fresh will my coffee be when I receive it?

We aim to ship coffee as fresh as possible while allowing enough resting time for the coffee to develop its best flavor.

Freshly roasted coffee often tastes better after a short resting period, especially for espresso brewing.

How should I store my coffee?

For best results:

  • Keep the bag sealed when not in use
  • Store in a cool, dry place
  • Avoid direct sunlight
  • Avoid refrigeration

Proper storage helps preserve flavor and aroma.

How long does coffee stay fresh?

Coffee is best enjoyed within a few months of roasting.

Once opened, we recommend consuming it within 4–6 weeks for the best flavor experience.

Returns, Refunds & Damages
Can I return the coffee I ordered?

Because coffee is a food product, we generally cannot accept returns of opened coffee bags.

If there's an issue with your order, please contact us and we'll do our best to help.
