Leslie,
Green beans keep at least 4-6 months like Patrick says. 
They will gradually lose some of their fruity and spicy undertones and nuances 
over time and you will be left with really smooth and delicious coffee. 
Some island grown beans are actually aged for a couple years before they are 
sold. 

and when you have a few different varieties left and not enough of any of 
them to make a full batch, mix them and roast them. 
As long as you start with good coffee the results will be outstanding. 
A blindfolded chimp could make a stellar blend, keep that in mind whenever you 
read flowery prose in a coffee shop. The blindfolded chimp would get just as 
good of results as any meticulously careful roaster. 
Trust me, I’m that chimp and every random blend I have ever made was 
outstanding

Nice photos, I had been meaning to ask you if the zenroaster was still working 
well for you so this was great!  Glad to see it's a big part of your routine.

Green beans have a long shelf life. We plan on 4-6 months and do fine. A good 
way to seal them is important — as moisture content matters to roasting.

With abandon,
Patrick

How long do green coffee beans keep?   i.e., what would be your reorder 
frequency?

It looks interesting.  I just ordered an inexpensive roaster and will give 
it a try.
