Drip bag coffee is convenient and quick, but how long can its best flavor last? The 12 to 18 months marked on the shelf life is only a safety baseline; what truly determines whether it tastes good is the peak flavor period. Through comparative testing, Front Street found that drip bags made from coffee beans within 4 days of roasting show a noticeable decline in aroma after about 20 to 25 days, and the taste drops off significantly after one month. Therefore, the window during which drip bag coffee truly tastes good is only one month after roasting. Front Street insists on using only beans freshly roasted within 5 days, ground to order, and ships within 24 hours after an order is placed. A pack of 10 small bags is just right for consuming one bag per day. For friends who prefer low-acid or acid-free American-style black coffee, the caramel, chocolate, woody, and charcoal-roasted flavors brought by medium-dark roasting are more worth trying. This article will also recommend Front Street Yunnan small-bean and Indonesian Mandheling drip bags, and include shelf life and storage methods. [more…]
