I’ve literally never seen a roast date on anything sold in my local supermarket. It’s always either instant, pre-ground, or whole beans if undetermined source and age. Thank goodness for local roasters.

I’d be concerned not seeing a country of origin tho
I kinda live in a haven for good roasters so I’ve got my favorites locked down

I’ve drunk some “100% Robusta” pods and it actually tastes good, so I really wonder do Italians drink this kind of thing casually?

Harvest date? Have you ever actually seen that?
