Green Coffee Storage
How green coffee differs from roasted coffee in storage, moisture management, packaging and quality preservation.
Green coffee is not roasted coffee
Green coffee is physically and chemically different and is generally much less volatile than roasted coffee. Its storage priorities therefore differ.
Moisture stability
Green coffee can absorb or lose moisture from its environment. Stable conditions help limit unwanted physical and sensory changes.
Temperature and humidity
Excessive heat and humidity can accelerate deterioration and increase risks such as mould or pest damage. Storage design depends on climate and packaging.
Packaging and warehouse practice
Bags, liners, pallets, ventilation and separation from strong odours all matter. Commercial warehouses use controlled procedures because green coffee may be stored for substantial periods.
