Ever wonder about the freshness when it comes to coffee beans? Fresh beans is the secret to unlocking the full potential; aroma & flavor of your coffee. Let's see how it contributes to making a good cup of coffee.
The Science
When coffee beans are roasted, they release carbon dioxide & undergo a series of complex chemical reactions that ultimately affect their aroma and taste profile. After the roasting is complete, these reactions slow down and the beans start to loose their vibrancy.
