Kenya Medium-Light Roast
Microlot
Microlots from Kenya are traceable to either the factory level or individual
farm level (when possible), and are selected basis cup score. Because the
majority of coffee farmers in Kenya own between 1/8–1/4 a hectare of land,
most deliver coffee in cherry form to a local factory for sorting and
processing; at the factory, the deliveries are blended and processed into day
lots comprising the day' s deliveries. Our green buyer for Kenya typically
takes up residency in Kenya during the harvest due to the sheer number of
samples to be cupped and selects the best of these lots to purchase as
microlots (fewer than 100 bags).
