If you buy coffee beans from most outlets, they will look dry and dull. The natural oils in the beans, released during roasting, have long since dried out.
Luckily, I get my beans from someone who vacuum packs them immediately after roasting, and gets them too me within a few weeks after that. So when I open the pack, the beans are still shiny and moist; an indication of good coffee to come.
Opened a new pack of beans this morning. Seemed only logical to photograph them.
