Degassing & Flavour Maturation
For best results, allow this coffee to rest 2–4 weeks after roasting. This gives time for CO₂ to degas, allowing its delicate flavours to shine. The lighter the roast, the quicker it stabilises — though flavour continues to mature gradually.
☕ Enjoy within 3 months of roast date — while it’s still fresh and vibrant.
