I don't know how long it will last but do know coffee dealers store their beans in large burlap bags from picking season to picking season , so that points to it storing for at least one year .

In cool, dry conditions, green beans can be stored up to two years in a burlap bag. Ideal storage conditions for green coffee are 55 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, with ambient humidity 60%-75% (to maintain 10-12% bean humidity).

Storing Green Coffee Beans
Coffee must be stored in dry and cool conditions. Exposure to the sun or moisture will rapidly deteriorate the coffee. Storage in pergamino until right before the shipping time will help preserve the coffee. Burlap bas are often used for coffee bean storage because they allow air flow. They also preserve the coffee longer than plastic or paper bags. Burlap bags should be aired on the patios before storing coffee to prevent a baggy flavor or burlap scent from being imparted to the coffee.
Coffee Seedlings Storage
Research in Kenya has shown that coffee seeds are useful for over two years if stored at 15°C at 41% moisture content in an airtight polythene bag (Mitchell, 45 and Van der Vossen).
Roasted Coffee Storage
Whole bean coffee maintains its freshness the longest. The freshness of ground coffee will be lost in a matter of minutes since its protective cellular structure has been broken and the volatiles have been exposed to the environment to undergo oxidation. An inert gas such as nitrogen can be used to help preserve the whole beans for an extended time. Some people claim that nitrogen could preserve coffee for up to two years, but after a few weeks the coffee no longer acts, tastes, nor smells like freshly roasted coffee. Whole bean coffee that has been opened and exposed to the environment should be kept for no longer than a week even if a vacuum seal is in place. Coffee that has been roasted very darkly is even more susceptible to oxidation and should be kept for an even shorter period of time. Finally, there is a significant loss in crema development for espresso coffee four days after roasting. Espresso coffee should be purchased immediately after roasting and consumed within a couple of days.

Back some years ago, green coffee was a buyers market, so the plant I worked in bought double amounts of coffee.
The coffee was stacked in the hallways, only one fork lift could move down the hallway, no room for two lifts to past another.
But coffee was really cheap, so the buyer had a field day buying & we made money hand over fist.
However the extra coffee did not sit for a year, we use it as fast as orders came in.

Panax ginseng can also be considered a stimulant. This is the Asian ginseng and likely not found growing in the U.S. but is more readily available to purchase. I have used this type and agree that it has a stimulant effect, among other effects.
American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is considered in some states to be threatened or endangered. Some states allow for the commercial growing and selling of American ginseng (Wisconsin for one). I personally have never used this type.
Both herbs can interact with other medications, producing undesirable or dangerous results and also are not recommended during pregnancy and quite a few other conditions.
