Passenger Coffee courtesy photo.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Green coffee preservation in the freezer has been integral to Passenger\u2019s sourcing program and strategic planning since day one, and it continues to inform inventory management and menu curation in significant ways,&#8221; Passenger director of coffee Russ Durfee and green buyer Evan Howe jointly said in a statement to Daily Coffee News. &#8220;With the benefit of the freezer, we eliminate the risk of our green coffees beginning to show past-crop qualities before we\u2019ve roasted through them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This strategy allows Passenger to present what it calls &#8220;Archival&#8221; releases \u2014 standout coffees preserved for later limited-release offerings \u2014 as well as &#8220;Foundational&#8221; coffees from a well-established network of producer partners.<\/p>\n<p>Durfee and Howe suggested the freezing program benefits customers by maintaining peak quality for year-round offerings, while also benefiting producers, since the company can commit to more coffee from each harvest, &#8220;rather than the much smaller volumes we could commit to if we had concerns about green coffee shelf-life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the Passenger team, the freezing program carries significant costs associated with additional frozen storage, inventory management and transportation. Responding to a DCN question regarding the program\u2019s environmental impact, Durfee and Howe said that from &#8220;a purely environmental angle, there is no way around the fact that freezing coffee for extended periods of time is not optimal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_194395\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/2026\/02\/06\/passenger-coffee-releases-coffee-harvested-10-years-ago\/passenger-coffee-frozen-warehouse\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-194395\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-194395\" src=\"https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Passenger-Coffee-frozen-warehouse.jpg\" alt=\"Passenger Coffee frozen warehouse\" width=\"1240\" height=\"827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Passenger-Coffee-frozen-warehouse.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Passenger-Coffee-frozen-warehouse-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Passenger-Coffee-frozen-warehouse-620x414.jpg 620w, https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Passenger-Coffee-frozen-warehouse-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Passenger-Coffee-frozen-warehouse-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Passenger Coffee courtesy photo.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Yet they said they believe the program has broader potential benefits. &#8220;At Passenger we&#8217;ve often tried to consider sustainability from an additional angle, which is, &#8216;what does it look like for a coffee roaster to pursue practices that contribute to a more economically sustainable business model for coffee producers?'&#8221; they said.<\/p>\n<p>As for the time-capsule coffee being released this week, Passenger described the peaberry coffee from Kiriani Estate in Kenya as having jammy blackcurrant sweetness with vibrant citrus tones that have fully held up over a decade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This lot is not only one of the longest-preserved coffees remaining in our archive but also one of the finest examples of the efficacy of green coffee preservation that we\u2019ve tasted to date,&#8221; Durfee said in an announcement of the release.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Comments?
