Portfolio Coffees are imported within 3 to 4 months of a given coffee harvest. We stock and roast these lots over a 5-7 month period of the specific mill date. Green beans are highly porous. They, therefore, absorb smells and retain moisture. Portfolio green coffees are contained in sealed, semi-permeable plastic recyclable green jute bags contained within burlap sacks. We keep these bags sealed on raised pallets away from direct sunlight in a dry environment
As the beans reach our importers in Toronto, they carry an average moisture level of 10% depending on the specific lot. Portfolio Coffee is stored in a temperature-controlled, humidity-stable warehouse allowing for ideal conditions no matter the time of year. This helps ensure that the freshest possible raw product is roasted and sent your way.
These beans are always roasted within one roast cycle of your order which generally means inside of 1 day of receiving your order to ensure that you can fully appreciate the depth of these coffees.
