Anhydrobiosis

by Onyx Coffee Lab

Anhydrobyiosis—life without water. It's a term that encapsulates the state when microbial activity diminishes sufficiently to transport coffee globally while maintaining its stability. Only coffee is never devoid of water. It maintains a symbiotic relationship with water, a bond that persists through its journey. This connection isn't merely symbolic; it profoundly impacts the lifespan of green coffee influences the roasting process in significant ways. Exploring variable humidity in green coffee, we've prepared the same coffee in two ways. One has remained at a standard 9% moisture content, the other has been rehydrated to 13%, allowing us to ask, is there really "life without water?"
