Freezing green coffee for long-term storage
I first learned about vacuum-sealing and freezing green coffee back when the first, truly epic lot of Ethiopian Organic Idido Misty Valley hit the market. That was the coffee that finally made me understand clearly what people meant when they referred to blueberry flavors in coffee. That was also the coffee that pretty much ruined me, shifted my focus from Guatemalans to Ethiopians, and set me on the coffee path I'm on today.
That was in the fall of 2007, and I sealed/froze 4lbs of that coffee in October of that year. I found that bag while rearranging stuff in the freezer on Tuesday, and decided it was time. Roasted a batch last night and am drinking it now. The blueberry notes are completely gone, which changes the entire character of the cup. It's still very good coffee, but it lacks what made it so unique when it was fresh. Live and learn...
