Many years ago, when I first heard the saying of "raising beans," I felt very puzzled! Didn't they all emphasize that it was better to be fresh? Later, they often had to test the taste of coffee. After the number of samples and experience values increased, they found that the good flavor of coffee really needed time to wait. The flavor of freshly baked coffee beans was not mature and needed time to mature.

Whether it is light roasted or deep roasted coffee beans, at the end of roasting, they need to exhaust, release carbon dioxide, and let the substances in the coffee beans, such as sugars, oils, aroma factors, etc., interact, so that the flavor ripens, and the taste will be more round and full.

How long does it take to raise beans? It depends on the condition and roasting degree of the coffee beans themselves, as well as the roasting treatment methods of the roasting bean division. For coffee beans roasted in small shops: Medium to medium deep roast coffee beans, the recommended drinking period is 5 ~ 10 days after roasting, light roast coffee beans recommended drinking period is 3 ~ 4 weeks after roasting, of course, you can also consider the ripening time, at different time points after roasting to try to see, which time point flavor best suits your preference.

Finally, remind you that the preservation environment has an impact on the ripening and quality maintenance of coffee beans. It is recommended to put coffee beans in a sealed jar, and store them in a dry, ventilated dark place, avoid sun and high temperature, and eat them as soon as possible after unpacking or grinding. In order to maintain freshness and flavor, avoid buying too much at one time, and it is best to buy about 1 month.
