There are several ways to keep and ensure the freshness of our green unroasted coffee beans, they must be stored carefully, which doesn't require much time. Here's some tips to keep in mind on how to properly store our green coffee beans.

• Please store the green coffee beans in clear plastic bags to prevent any type of cross contamination during the shipping process. 
• If we are going to use the green coffee beans within a week, two at the most, then it's all right to leave them in the clear plastic bag. If not, then it's very important to transfer the green coffee beans into paper lunch bags, or clean cotton bags. 
• The coffee beans need to breathe. Typically, green coffee beans have a moisture content of 10-15%, and if they're sealed in an airtight container, moisture will accumulate (especially if there's temperature fluctuations). Over time, the quality of your beans will deteriorate. Remember to label the bags if you're storing different types of unroasted green coffee beans!

How to Store the Coffee beans roasted

First notice about how to store the roasted beans  :

Coffee bean's five greatest enemies are moisture, air, light and heat. Ideally, coffee should be ground, brewed, and consumed quickly to obtain the best flavor

 

Coffee beans are at their peak within 24 to 72 hours after roasting and begin to quickly stale after that (within a week, most of the original flavor will have deteriorated). It is best to buy fresh-roasted coffee in quantities that you will use within 7 to 10 days. 

It is important not to refrigerate or freeze your daily supply of coffee because contact with moisture will cause it to deteriorate.  Instead, store coffee in air-tight glass or ceramic containers and keep it in a convenient, but dark and cool, location.

Store your coffee in the bags it came in if they are heat sealed film or foil. Once these bags have been opened, you can either transfer the coffee to a clean, dry, air-tight canister, or simply roll the top of the bag closed, forcing out as much air as possible, and seal the bag with a piece of tape or a rubber band.

Therefore, an airtight container stored in a cool, dry, dark place is the best environment for your coffee.
