What makes a microlot? Dedication to the craft of coffee, exceptional quality in the cup, and a lot\u2014like, a lot<\/em>\u2014of hard work. The microlots we source are what we consider absolute best-in-show coffees, knock-outs that come in limited quantities but make a huge impact.<\/p>\n

Our Microlot Coffee<\/strong> Offerings<\/strong>\u00a0are sourced from innovative producers in innovative ways, from super high-end limited-edition Aces lots to cupping competitions and auction lots, to variety-specific separations and those coffees that are traceable down to an individual producer. Farmers are paid quality premiums for any microlot coffee, which reflects the extra planning, effort, labour, and attention to detail required to produce them, as well as rewarding the ultimate job well done.<\/p>\n
