A range review that ignores storage and shelf life will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Zen 3.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Zen 3.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Zen 3
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
Consistency across batches matters more than peak performance for Zen 3, and storage and shelf life is where inconsistency first appears.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.
