Lot 20 now works with a number of farmers across west Kenya, and is known for pushing the boundaries of coffee processing. They experiment with different methods of fermentation (using fruit pulp, different yeasts, unique fungi) with the aim of improving cupping quality, raising the value of the lots they sell, and ultimately feeding back that worth to the farmers they buy from.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lot 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flex-1 text-sm font-medium md:text-base\"\u003eKoji-Processed (Aspergillus oryzae)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e1800 MASL\u003cbr\u003eVariety: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eBatian, Ruiru 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eRegion: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eKericho County, Kenya\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eKenya\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eRoasted for Filter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eThe Coffee Process\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eUpon arrival to the washing station, the cherries are meticulously sorted and floated to ensure that only the best make it onto the next stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eOnce sorted, the cherries are filled into fermentation barrels, where, in an oxygen-free environment, nature takes its course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eThe natural yeasts present on the cherries are enhanced with Ava, a mould (related to Koji) that is used to enhance a coffee’s natural fruit flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eUnder carefully monitored anaerobic conditions, the cherries are fermented for four days.
