This fully washed AA grade Kenya coffee comes from the Lot 20 group. They work with a group of coffee producers from Kericho and Bomet counties in the southern part of the Rift Valley in Kenya. They are passionate about farming and have goals to produce delicious coffee that showcases the beauty of their region.

Not only does this coffee taste incredible, it is also being traded in a completely new way. Most coffee in Kenyan is sold through auction, making sourcing transpareny really difficult. Lot 20 however is trying something new: exporting their coffee themselves. All Lot 20 coffees have limited releases since they are sourced from small micro-lots deemed to be exceptional examples of farming innovation that create unique flavour experiences.

Lot 20 has two pulping stations: one in Kericho East, Fort Tenan, which has a capacity of 15 tonnes per season, and one in Kericho West, Cheribo which is currently under construction. There is also a dry milling factory. In an effort to support the local community and encourage coffee cultivation as a source of income, Lot 20 has also established a nursery alongside their mill in Sossiot. With the support of the Kericho county government, the group has trained farmers in various aspects of coffee farming.
