Roasted after you order
We roast your beans once the order is in, and they leave us within 24 hours of the drum. The date on the bag is that roast.
Every bag we send has its roast date printed on it. Read it right and you'll know the day to open it.

The card
Flip the bag. The date on it is the day we roasted it, not a best-before.
Day 1 to 6: resting. Still gassy, tastes thin or sharp. Wait.
Day 7 to 30: the window. Brew it now; this is the stretch the bag was roasted for.
After day 30: still fine in milk, past its best black.
One bag open at a time. The rest sealed, airtight, away from heat. Supermarket coffee shows a best-before date; ours shows the day it was roasted.

Fresh beans are still letting go of carbon dioxide. In the first week that gas pushes water away from the grounds, so the cup comes out thin or sharp.
Whole beans hold their window. Ground coffee fades far faster, so grind just before you brew if you can.
