This coffee is part of a new program we’ve launched in Colombia. Similar to the Regional Select program, it was created to highlight the unique profiles we have found are inherent in specific microregions within Colombia. The regions we’re focusing on are Huila, Narino, Cauca and Tolima. The primary difference between the Microlot Program and Regional Select is cupping score.
This program adds yet another tier to our stratified buying structure in Colombia, designed to further reward quality. As the coffees are received at origin, they’re separated based on locale and quality.
The separations look like this:
Regional Select - 86-87 pts
Microlot Program - 87-89 pts
90 points program - 90+ pts
