Found out the roast date on grocery store beans is usually a lie lol
So I was at a local coffee shop in Portland last week and the barista told me that most big brands put a 'roasted on' date that's actually just a packaging date. He said beans can sit in a warehouse for weeks before they get bagged. Checked my pantry and sure enough, that '2 weeks ago' roast date was actually from like 6 weeks back when I called the distributor. Has anyone else noticed this with their store bought stuff?

Saw some article about this a while back that said the dates are basically meaningless for freshness, mostly just to keep the supply chain happy. The real test is how old it smells when you open the bag, that's never lied to me yet.
