Freshness and Fruit

Just a really quick, random post while I finish my breakfast during my 30-mintue break at work.  Drew from the office came by this morning and we pressed an 8-oz pot of Tanzania AA that had been opened since last Thursday (9 days).  Surprisingly, there was still a TON of fruit in the cup.  Orange-caramelly goodness.  Indicative of the origin? Or was this a singular event?  It was just stored in our normal triple-layer valve bags, with a clip on the top after it was opened.  I’ve had coffees opened up a day or two before, with huge drops in acidity and floral notes, but didn’t notice anything substantially different with this coffee compared to what I’ve tried last week from the same bag….. Way to go, 49th!

    I’ve been kind of wondering about the VACU VINS that 49th has got on the website. They’re tinted to keep out light, and have a vacuum on top to remove the Oxygen inside. Perhaps we need to do some testing???
