Smart Tips Tuesday…A Hill of Beans

coffee_plantation A recent trip to store, left me a little bit smarter (a really good thing)!  I was stocking up on my favorite organic coffee beans….loading up my third bag when I commented to the employee near me, that I always overfilled the bags.  He laughed and was about to help me, when I mentioned, I was stocking up for winter.  He told me ‘not to store them in the freezer or the fridge’.  “It’s an old wives tale”, he said.  “OMG, I said, that makes so much sense, it would just dry them out!”  “Yep”, he said.  “Just keep them cool and in the dark.”  Well, I guess I have been in the dark….but I see the light and it amounts to more than a hill of beans!  Ok, I will cease and desist!  lol

  1. What brand of coffee beans do you use? We've been trying to find a brand we can call our own. So far Kivu has been our fav.

  2. I use Doma. It is strong. It works best for me to use different brands, every once in awhile. I also like Thomas Hammer.
