Vacuum packing...

Having received the coffee at the roastery, we tackled the process of vacuum packing the green coffee.

Some of our coffee was already shipped vacuum packed at source, but as most coffee is still shipped in burlap bags, we wanted to avoid any further deterioration in the quality of the coffee.

Vacuum packing the coffee once it arrives will hopefully prolong the freshness of the coffee and most importantly, retain the moisture and aroma. This type of practice is not common in the coffee industry, but there is a growing trend to have farmers vacuum pack their coffee at source.

It goes without saying that the investment one has to commit to in purchasing a vacuum packing machine and the relevant bags is not a small one, but we feel that if there is anything we can do to improve the end product, we will invest in that process.
