Coffee beans in their raw, natural state are referred to as green coffee beans. You might not recognize them as coffee because of their grayish-green color. Green coffee doesn’t smell like coffee, either.
Green coffee beans remain fresh almost indefinitely provided they are kept at room temperature in a dark location. Ideal green coffee storage conditions are 60 F., and about 60% humidity. Higher humidity can encourage mold growth within the beans, while super dry conditions below 20% will dry the beans out, causing them to develop a “flat” taste once roasted.
Raw coffee beans need to breathe, so storing them a brown paper bag or burlap bag to allow for air movement is ideal. There are bugs or larvae that might be attracted to the burlap material itself.
