Lot 20, founded in 2019 by Sidney Kibet, now works with a network of smallholder farmers across west Kenya — and has built a serious reputation for pushing the boundaries of what coffee processing can achieve. This lot is a prime example of that spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSorted cherries are loaded into fermentation barrels alongside a culture of Koji and pulped oranges — grown by the very same farmers who supply the coffee cherries, giving them a valuable additional income stream. Under carefully monitored anaerobic conditions, the cherry, Koji and orange mix ferments for 96 hours, with persistent agitation throughout to encourage the right flavour-forward microbes to thrive. The result is a coffee that's as layered as it sounds: rich caramel sweetness, bright citrus, and a long, nutty pecan finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRipe cherries are sorted and loaded into sealed fermentation barrels with Koji culture and pulped oranges sourced from the same farming community. The anaerobic co-fermentation runs for 96 hours with regular agitation to promote flavour-active microbial activity. After fermentation, the coffee is carefully dried to lock in the complex fruit and caramel character developed during the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kericho County, Kenya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lot 20 — Sidney Kibet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Batian, Ruiru 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,800 m.a.s.l.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anaerobic Co-Ferment (Koji + Orange)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e March – June 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grain Pro in Jute Sacks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a filter, this coffee is rich and sweet — caramel and orange up front, with a smooth pecan finish that lingers.
