Microlot coffee

Microlot coffee: the best a harvest has to offer

Microlot coffee is a special category within specialty coffee. While a regular coffee may come from several plots or producers, a microlot consists of a very small, carefully selected batch of coffee beans. These beans often come from a single plot, a specific variety, or even a separate harvest within a plantation. This results in a coffee with a unique and distinctive character.

The limited size of a microlot gives coffee farmers the opportunity to devote extra attention to every step of the process. From selecting the ripest coffee cherries to processing, drying and sorting the beans, everything is focused on achieving the highest possible quality. The result is a coffee with exceptional complexity and a tasting experience you are unlikely to find in a standard blend.

At De Zeeuwse Sommelier, we select only microlot coffee beans that stand out for their quality, origin and flavour. Each coffee tells the story of its producer, the climate and the soil in which it was grown. Depending on its origin, you may discover aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, flowers, caramel, chocolate or delicate spicy notes. It is precisely this diversity that makes every microlot unique.

Our microlots are freshly roasted several times a week. We develop a suitable roast profile for each coffee, allowing the bean’s distinctive qualities to shine through. This helps preserve its natural sweetness, vibrant fruit notes and elegant balance.

Because microlot coffee is available only in small quantities, it is almost always a limited edition. Once a harvest sells out, it is often no longer available. This makes every new microlot a special discovery for coffee lovers eager to explore new origins and flavour profiles.

Microlot coffee is ideal for filter coffee, slow coffee, pour-over, Chemex and AeroPress, but many coffees also shine as espresso. For anyone who enjoys experimenting with different brewing methods and flavours, a microlot offers a unique coffee experience.
