Anhydrobiosis

About This Coffee

Anhydrobiosis—life without water. It encapsulates when microbial activity diminishes to transport coffee globally while maintaining its stability. Only coffee is never devoid of water. The two maintain a symbiotic relationship. Not merely symbolic this connection 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?'
