Gourmet Beans

35-38% humidity and appears juicy, but inferior quality - more water weight and hence more profit for the vendor. Gourmet beans can be vacuum packed to appear juicy - a time-bomb as they dry out or mould up - use immediately for brewing extracting or baking. Usually, these beans have not expressed their full flavor, are nice in appearance, but unstable, in critical need of vacuum to biologically and aerobically stabilize, and carry a risk of mould as a near certainty within a month.
