In the world of specialty coffee, exclusivity and fair trade are becoming increasingly important and integral to the experience. It's no surprise, then, that microlot coffee is gaining in popularity! The flavor becomes even more intriguing when you know that carefully selected batches of coffee from small farms have been roasted. Of course, there's plenty of information available, practically begging you to visit the farm and see for yourself. But what makes microlot coffee so special, and what are the advantages it offers? Find out – as always, in our blog post. Happy reading!
What makes Microlot coffee so special?
Microlot coffees are so special because the growing conditions are very closely controlled and communicated very transparently to buyers. This allows roasters and consumers to follow each step from picking to processing. This is naturally reflected in the price of microlot coffee – but also in the quality. Microlot coffees are usually produced in very small batches and are strictly limited. Therefore, their exclusivity makes them highly sought after by roasters and connoisseurs.
What are the advantages of microlot coffees?
Unique cup profiles:
By cultivating microlot coffee in small plots on farms, with specific plant varieties and growing conditions, the beans can develop unique aromas. These are meticulously documented, so roasters and consumers know the altitude, climate, soil composition, and who actually produces the coffee.
Special sustainability and fair trade:
Microlot coffee is not only cultivated with great care under special conditions, but it is also produced and traded in a particularly fair and sustainable way. This ensures fair wages for the farmers, fair prices for the producers, and a fantastic product for us! These conditions help improve social conditions in the coffee-growing countries, and the fair prices also have a positive impact on the environmental effects of coffee cultivation. This prevents the creation of monocultures that are harmful to the soil; instead, great emphasis is placed on shade management, water management, and soil nutrient quality without the use of chemicals. Good for the environment, good for people, and of course, good for the taste of the coffee!
Highest quality:
Due to the very strictly controlled growing conditions, Microlot coffee is of the highest quality. Furthermore, the highly selective harvesting of only truly ripe cherries and the gentle processing result in only the best beans. As a result, there are hardly any defects in the green coffee beans that could negatively affect the taste.
Why should you buy microlot coffee?
As a true coffee lover of SIMON&BEARNS coffee, you've probably already unknowingly tasted microlot coffee. One example is our filter coffee from Rwanda (Ngororero washed) . Here, small quantities of cherries are processed individually according to their initial quality. This means some batches are larger and some smaller – individual and sustainable, just the way we like it!
Microlot coffee is therefore an excellent way to discover the complexity of coffee aromas – even within a single farm, just at different times. Each cup tells a story, and we love to listen!
Conclusion:
Microlot coffee is more than just an everyday pick-me-up. It aims to represent a direct connection to the world of coffee and, alongside exclusive moments of enjoyment, stands for sustainability and quality.
At SIMON&BEARNS, we search for only the very best specialty coffees for you, and these are often microlot coffees. We provide you with information about the farms, the farmers, and the growing conditions, and we warmly invite you to engage in dialogue with us. With our coffee, we not only want to brighten your day, but also make the world a slightly better place by ensuring our impact in the growing regions is as sustainable and fair as possible through fair prices and close communication. Thank you for your support!
