At Green Hills Coffee, our passion for coffee doesn't end with selecting the finest beans or our meticulous milling and roasting process . We know that the final step—the way we package our coffee—is just as crucial as all the others. That's why we've opted for vacuum packaging technology, a decision that makes a difference in every cup you enjoy.
The Invisible Enemy of Coffee
Oxygen is the silent enemy of coffee beans. From the moment a coffee is roasted, a race against time begins. Contact with air initiates an oxidation process that progressively degrades the essential oils and aromatic compounds that give life to the characteristic flavor and aroma of a great coffee.
At Green Hills Coffee we refuse to allow this natural process to ruin the sensory experience we have worked so hard to create in every specialty coffee bean .
How Vacuum Packaging Protects Your Coffee
When we remove the air from our packaging, we are:
1. Stopping Oxidation
By removing oxygen from the environment, the coffee oils remain stable for much longer. This means the floral nuances, fruity notes, and exceptional body that characterize our coffees will reach your cup intact, whether you open the package today or several months from now.
Whether you choose our natural specialty coffee with its intense fruity notes, or ourhoney coffee with its characteristic sweetness, vacuum packaging preserves these distinctive qualities.
2. Creating a Moisture Barrier
Coffee is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the environment. Our packaging system creates an airtight barrier that maintains the ideal moisture level in the beans, preserving their freshness and preventing the growth of mold or bacteria.
3. Preserving Volatile Aromas
Those aromas that envelop you when you open a package of freshly roasted coffee come from extremely volatile compounds. Vacuum packaging keeps them "locked" in with the coffee, allowing them to be released only when you decide to prepare your drink.
4. Protecting Against External Contaminants
Coffee is a remarkably efficient odor absorber. Our packaging prevents external aromas from contaminating your beans, preserving the sensory profile our tasters have selected.
Technology at the Service of Quality
At Green Hills Coffee, we've invested in the most advancedvacuum packaging technology, with machines specifically calibrated for specialty coffee. Unlike other packaging methods, our technology:
- Extracts air without damaging the grain : We apply the exact pressure to create a vacuum without breaking or stressing the grains.
- Uses multi-layer materials : Our bags include barriers against UV light, oxygen and moisture.
- It incorporates degassing valves : They allow the release of residual CO2 from the roasting without allowing the entry of oxygen.
The Difference You Can See
The difference between conventionally packaged and vacuum-packed coffee is not subtle:
- Longer shelf life : Our coffees maintain their optimal characteristics up to 3 times longer.
- Guaranteed consistency : Each pack offers the same experience, no matter when you open it.
- Perceptible freshness : That "whoosh" when you open a package is the auditory signal that freshness has been preserved.
Once you open your vacuum-packed coffee, it's important to know how to store it properly to preserve these qualities for as long as possible.
Impact on the Preparation Experience
For Different Preparation Methods
The freshness preserved by our vacuum packaging is especially appreciated in methods that require precision:
- Espresso : Where every nuance counts to achieve the perfect preparation method
- Chemex : Ideal for appreciating the preserved purity of Colombian specialty coffee
Preserving Health Benefits
Our vacuum packaging also preserves the benefits of Colombian specialty coffee , keeping intact the antioxidants and beneficial compounds that would degrade with exposure to oxygen.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Our investment in vacuum packaging also has a sustainability component:
- Waste reduction : By extending the shelf life of coffee, we contribute to reducing food waste.
- Recyclable materials : We are continuously working to improve the recyclability of our packaging.
- Smaller carbon footprint : By optimizing space in transportation and storage, we reduce emissions associated with logistics.
