Has anyone else noticed that the tins specifically have a later expiration date than the 1-lb or 2.2-lb bags? The tins I got were fresher by 3 months.

I noticed the date was longer, but I also noticed that the shipments I had gotten in the past in bags had more oily beans.

I would avoid any coffee that has an expiration date. ALWAYS buy your fresh roasted coffee beans with a 'Roasted on' date. Freshly roasted coffee only has a shelf life of about 3 weeks. The beans will off gas as well so the packaging needs to have a one way vent (allows off gasses to escape but prevents oxygen from entering). If you are buying your coffee with an expiration date, you are buying old stale coffee, 100% guaranteed. Do a little research.

Our September order has a July 2014 use by date. Personally , I think they will last longer because they are well sealed.

they are fresh & expires in July 2014. I would reorder it again in the future. Just be aware that not everyone has strong jaws to chew especially older folks.

If you are ordering from the same company I ordered from the expiration date was 3 months out from when I received them. This was a concern to me, but I knew I would use them in those 3 months.

I'm not sure if they have an expiration date. We just bought the big bag and kept it around to replace the used ones. I still have some left.

I bought it last year, and I just remember, that it was cheaper,because it had a sell-date about 4 months ahead. I think the higher price would mean that the sell-date would be giving you more time to use. by the way, they are sumptuous, I keep them now in the fridge, and they are still good!

Mine came from "Best Deal Supply" and, like "kenniget" said below, they were fresh and had a long expiration period. They came in a small plastic bag. There was no retail packaging.This is a superior price compared to the retail packaging and pricing.

Every batch is different. All that I have received have expiration dates about 9 months into the future, and they have all been consumed about the time the next batch arrives (4 bags every 3 months). Keeps my wife very happy!!!

We ate 1 of the 5lb bags throughout 4 months and they were just as good as when we first opened. If they're properly sealed I'm sure they will be fine by July. And maybe not refrigerate them, because when they warm up again they don't taste the same.

I ordered mine last August so I dont know expiration but they came in a giant bulk bag. They were fresh and very good.

Not sure how the date on the bag corresponds to what, but it was dated about1month before i got it. It's definitely fresh!

I never had a problem with the expiration date as I always ordered them only a couple of weeks before our annual pirate party. They arrive very quickly after you order them, so I would wait just to be on the safe side. I wish I could tell you what the shelf life is, but I don't know. My local supermarket (County Market) carries the large bags in the "Health Food Section". Maybe your local grocery store carries them, and you can get a better idea of the shelf life.

I would not attempt to predict what date they would send you. Normally it is that year's crop. I have one bag in my freezer that expired 7/2012 & is still good. Used it the other day to make Cranbread. I do know if you let the bag sit on a shelf @ 65F 8-12 months, the berries loose something in taste & quality. Thus why I freeze them. If this answer doesn't help, I would contact Bayside Candy (supplier of the one's I bought) asking them for the expiration dates on the current shipped lot.

Same concern I had, but am half-way through the bottles as the exp. date is 11/2014. In other words, they WERE within "date" and still fairly fresh! Hope this helps!?

They were fresh. Not sure if there was a best to use by date. I open the packs and put them in an airtight container and they stay fresh.

Hello, each tin is individually marked with it's own expiration date. When I placed the order sometime earlier in the year, the tin arrived within 1 year of the expiration date marked.

I checked my pkg, unfortunately, the expiration date wore off. Sorry, wish I could help. Good Luck.
