I recently bought 5 different beans from Black Baza. Thus far, I have brewed only one variety, and the outcome was incredible. I loved the aroma and taste. However, I had two concerns:
1) The packaging was unusual, with the absence of a degassing vent. It typically takes 2-7 days for the roasted beans to be completely degassed. I noticed that the roast date was June 30, and the beans were packaged on July 4 in air-tight plastic packaging. Further, I received the beans on July 8. The beans remained in air-tight packaging for 5 days. I'm curious whether this negatively influences the quality of my brew or Black Baza has some additional measures in places to ensure that the beans are degassed adequately before being shipped.
2) Initially assuming that the beans would be packaged in a pouch containing vent, I categorically added a comment requesting to ship the beans on the date of roasting while placing the order. I would have waited until the next roast date. However, neither this direction was followed nor did I receive any communication explaining what they wouldn't do so. I would have appreciated a follow-up.
Thank you!
