Acidity
Medium acidity. Without acidity, a coffee will tend to taste dull and lifeless. A good acidity will lean towards being sweet, crisp and tart - each enhancing the other qualities in the coffee.
Packaging
Remember it's the one in the Silver Bag. Packaged in a foil bag with a one way valve engineered to release gases and prevent air from entering the bag which ensures freshness and optimal flavor. The bag which includes a resealable tape is ideal for storing beans in the original packaging helping the beans stay fresh after opening. Beans will remain fresh in this bag for 3 to 4 weeks after opening. Never store beans in a freezer because the moisture will adversely affect the taste and the moisture can clog your grinder.
