The description on the bag of a "bold, full-bodied, complex, rich and smooth" coffee, though admittedly ambiguous, did sound enticing. In fact, it sounded like it had the makings of a romance novel hunk. My interest aroused, I proceeded to turn the bag over in pursuit of more information on this seductively inviting coffee.
What I saw there amazed me.
Brazenly exhibited for the whole world to see were the four most astonishing words these eyes have ever seen on a bag of coffee: "Fresh for 90 days"
Incredible. It seems that Peet's has not only discovered how to create a time warp, but they've also devised a method to put one in each bag of their culminatively fresh coffee. This is quite possible the biggest break-though in coffee technology since the invention of the espresso machine.
So, even if the lusty description didn't turn you on, you simply must buy a bag of Peet's coffee just to experience the utter anomaly that is contained in each bag.
Remember those Green Bags?
Their secret is a chemical call potassium permanganate. That has been used in crispers for years. I know of no one putting a little bag in their coffee beans. It is worth a try. I just never have done it. It retards a certain out-gassing. That is all I know.
