After processing, preserving coffee beans is an extremely important process that directly affects the taste and aroma of coffee beans. Because it can lead to a loss of quality coffee, taste or even can not be used anymore.

So how to preserve coffee beans for a long time, while still keep the quality and flavor of coffee beans totally.

First, we need to understand the concept of PARCHMENT COFFEE and GREEN BEANS COFFEE because these are the two states where coffee is often taken for preservation. We will then explore the common methods of preserving green coffee beans currently.

1.  PARCHMENT COFFEE:

Parchment coffee is the beans of coffee that has been processed but not hulled so there is still a hard parchment layers cover them.

Parchment coffee is easily susceptible by: Moisture content of the beans, temperature, ventilation of the coffee block and its surroundings.


2. GREEN BEANS COFFEE:

Green beans coffee are the remaining beans after hulled. Because there is no protective layer anymore, the green coffee beans need to be more carefully preserved than parchment coffee, and the storage time of green coffee is usually shorter than that of green coffee.





In order to preserve coffee beans in the best state, we should use the following:

"EVEN WHAT METHOD OF PRESERVING, YOU NEED TO NOTE THAT THE MOISTURE OF COFFEE BEANS MUST BE FROM 11% -12.5%."

• Preserving coffee by dumping them into tanks:

This method helps to avoid coffee beans being compacted, reducing the bulk.

To optimize the use of packaging and preserve for longer time. Natural coffee beans are usually stored in corrugated silo, concrete, or closed wood tanks.

• Preserving in bags:


The best type of bags currently used to preserve coffee are Grain Pro bags, jute bags for providing fresh air for the beans.

The storage also must ensure about moisture, 
temperature, clean antiseptic factor.
And finally, do not too close the walls or the floor, need to change the order or position after 3 weeks (to avoid being pressurized coffee).

Currently, Ho Phuong is preserving coffee in bags and has a specialized storage. And periodically, the Ho Phuong employees still regularly change their position. In addition, the cupping process will also be incorporated regularly, to help Ho Phuong control the quality of coffee during storage.
