What is a Coffee Microlot?
Microlots are separated during harvesting or processing to maintain purity and highlight special qualities. They usually receive extra attention in cultivation, harvesting, and processing.
Why microlots matter
- Enable roasters to access unique, high-quality coffees
- Encourage producer focus on quality and innovation
- Support transparent supply chains and storytelling
Microlots in Specialty vs. Commercial
In Specialty coffee, Microlots are central to differentiation and premium pricing, often sold at auction or direct trade
In Commercial coffee they are more rare, as scale and blending dominate.
