Bruce is right, keep cool, dark and well protected from damp.

I think you are all quite nutziod around here,,,,,as matter of fact I know I am the only sane one.
I include my a certificate to prove it.
I know now how I am going to store all those Machacamarca beans anyway.
Each will be individually hermetically sealed in it own pouch and stored in a clean room kept at a constant 4C, naturally it will be filled with CO2
]I just put them in brown paper bags, 4 kg per bag. I do not store the bags in damp conditions and have had no problems storing them like this for two years.
