Producer Information Lot 20 Coffee located in the highlands of Kericho, Kenya, is dedicated to exploring new possibilities in coffee processing. By embracing a hands-on, experimental approach, Lot 20 seeks to produce coffee with unique and refined flavour profiles. Originally focused on exporting coffee from Bomet and Kericho counties, Lot 20 has gradually expanded its scope. They now collaborate with more regions across Kenya and experiment with innovative processing techniques like yeast and co-fermentation to enhance the quality of their coffee. Lot 20 is committed to keeping its operations rooted in the local community. By opting for smaller-scale processing facilities in Kericho rather than high-tech options in Nairobi, they aim to support the local economy and create employment opportunities. This approach is reflected in the creation of Metibellion Coffee Co, the washing station established by Lot 20 in 2024, which they are planning to expand by including the construction of a decaffeination plant. Supporting the community is a key aspect of Lot 20's work. Farmers partnering with them receive fair prices for their cherries, along with financial literacy training and access to quality seedlings and expert advice. Additionally, their co-fermentation processes enable them to buy locally grown fruit, further contributing to the local economy. Through these efforts, Lot 20 Coffee aims to make a positive impact on both the coffee they produce and the community they work alongside. |

Roasted Day
Our coffee is roasted to order mostly. That means we wait until we receive your order before we fire up the roaster.
Some beans will degassing before despatch but we promise our coffee is roasted no longer than 14 days ago.
Drinking Experience
Drinking Experience
We encourage you to start drinking when you receiving the beans, so that you can experience the changes from undegas coffee beans to fully degassed ones.
But we recommended to start brewing between 14-31 days after roasted day.
Flavor and the aroma would degrade significantly with time because of a chemical reaction with oxygen, oxidation makes coffee beans go stale and overall unpleasant. So we recommend finished the coffee beans better in 2 months after the roasted day.
