First of all, uniqueness and high quality. In terms of quality, it is superior to specialty beans, not to mention commercial coffee. Farmers carry out careful quality control at all stages, starting from sprouts and ending with processing. Bright and rich taste is also an important difference.

How coffee microlot differs from other coffees

What affects the formation of a unique taste:

  • Genetics. For the production of microlots, farmers grow only the best varieties.
  • Conditions in which a coffee tree grows. Region, soil quality, climate, growth height, rainfall, sun and shade.
  • The farmer's scrupulous attitude to work at all stages is especially attentive to the collection of coffee berries, sorting and processing.

It is interesting to note the fact that each batch of microlots grown on the same plantation will taste different, certainly not radically, the drink may have pronounced nuances that were not present in the previous batch. This is due to climate change, rainfall and sunny days. The soil, the quality of which deteriorates over the years, can also have an impact.

This is a relatively young trend in the coffee industry. At the beginning, there were great disputes about the economic feasibility of microlots, but as soon as coffee connoisseurs fully experienced the fullness of the taste of a drink brewed from such grains, the price policy took a back seat.

Farmers have a lot of risk in case of failure, because the process of growing microlots is extremely unstable and, unfortunately, depends not only on the knowledge and efforts of the farmer. But with success, the result can exceed all expectations.

At the moment, almost every country has a plantation where a farmer is engaged in the production of microlots. Such coffee is able to captivate even the most ardent coffee lover with its taste.
