Citra Hop Pellets

Citra is one of the most celebrated modern American hop varieties, developed by the Hop Breeding Company from a complex lineage that includes Hallertau Mittelfrüh, U.S. Tettnanger, East Kent Goldings, Bavarian, Brewers Gold, and other classic European and American hops. Known for its explosive citrus and tropical fruit character, Citra has become a must-have hop in IPAs and Pale Ales around the world.

Packaging:
The hops are carefully weighed, nitrogen-flushed, and sealed in a light-proof, aluminum-coated package for optimal shelf life.

Flushing with nitrogen displaces oxygen, reducing the oxygen level to 0.6–0.8%, which keeps the hop oils fresh and the aromas vibrant for months.

Store sealed packages in a cool environment (<4 °C).
Once opened, compress and reseal (zip-lock or vacuum seal) and keep refrigerated to maintain freshness.
