The Ecotact Troiseal Barrier Bag for 20+ Lbs of Green Coffee Here’s my short 2 minute version explaining the basics of green coffee storage and Ecotact bags: We have the Ecotact bags in 1, 2 and 5 Kgs at Sweet Maria’s now, as an add-on item. That’s why the nine-layered Ecotact material is different. But note standard storage bags do not have the barrier properties to prevent exchange with the ambient environment. You might also already have good barrier packaging, especially if you have glass jars that fit the amount of green coffee you need to store (minimizing air in the jar) or a vacuum sealer with high barrier bags. Good storage conditions in combination with an effective barrier will preserve coffee cup quality much longer. It’s also important to store green coffee in a temperature-stable environment too, and away from direct sunlight. Ecotact Material Barrier – green coffee protection Without the barrier, the coffee bean moisture level shifts, and the corresponding rise in water activity ( aw) will result in loss of coffee quality.

If that is maintained, the water in the bean remains bonded, and the coffee is in an optimal state of equilibrium.Ī barrier package around green coffee in this state helps to lock in the bonded humidity in the coffee, preventing it to equalize with the ambient climate. It itself, green coffee is dried to around 10% to 11% internal moisture level. If you think of green coffee as a dried sponge, it’s going to absorb moisture when exposed to a humid environment, and lose moisture in an arid environment. What we have found is that the potential cup quality that the green coffee bean possess can be degraded by environmental changes, especially in moisture levels.

Ecotact Green Coffee Storage 3 pouch sizes But in recent years our understanding about preserving the high cup quality of top shelf green coffee has really changed. They are made to be stored until ready to roast.

But what about longer term storage? And what about storing coffee in places where humidity and temperatures change a lot … is that okay for green coffee? We ship our green coffee in basic zip bags, which are fine to protect green coffee, especially if you will be roasting it within a few weeks. Ecotact Zip Bags are a great way to protect your green coffee quality
