Kenya – Nandi AB

16 GBP

A real standout offering from Sidney Kibet at Lot 20. These cherries have gone through a few rounds of 12 hour water bed fermentation after pulping, before being taken through the classic washed channels. This gives extra complexity to the cup, bringing a bright white wine acidity, and a vibrant, clean frutiness to the finish The name Lot 20 refers to the initial goal of this producer: to export 20 bags of Kenya coffee to the UK Suffice to say, the ambitions of founder Sidney Kibet have expanded slightly since 2019. 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
