LOT 20 (Orange co-ferment)

Lot20 is a coffee from Kenya, co-fermented with orange pulp.

It's unusual but perfect for the hot weather! 

For those unfamiliar, co-fermentation involves sealing the coffee cherries (that's the skin, pulp, seeds, and everything!) in an airtight 'anaerobic' chamber for anywhere between 12 to 100 hours. During this time, the sugars in the fruit interact with a buildup of lactic acid, which develops sweet and fruity flavours in coffee.

For this coffee specifically 'co-fermenting', orange pulp is added to this tank alongside the coffee cherries, to impart its citric acidity and bright fruity flavours.

The upshot of this, is that the coffee brewed tastes like a cup of intensely juicy Tropicana. Kenyan coffee is already notoriously sweet, meaning that the limited run of this coffee we have is not to be missed!

At 92 Degrees, the coffee roastery is the heart of the company. Here’s what goes on behind the scenes. First, the green coffee beans are carefully selected from farms all over the world, with a focus on sustainability and ethical sourcing. The beans are then roasted in small batches using state-of-the-art roasting machines, which ensures consistency and quality in every batch. The roasting process is an art and science, and the master roasters at 92 Degrees have years of experience in perfecting their craft.

Once the coffee beans are roasted, they are cooled down and packaged into bags for distribution. The packaging process is also done with care, as the bags are designed to preserve the freshness and flavor of the coffee for as long as possible. The bags are then labeled with the origin, roast date, and other important information, so customers can learn more about the coffee they are enjoying.

Finally, the coffee is shipped out to 92 Degrees cafes and retail partners, where it is served to customers or sold on shelves. The coffee roastery is a busy and exciting place, with a team of passionate coffee lovers working hard to bring the best possible coffee to customers. Whether you enjoy a rich, dark roast or a light and fruity blend, 92 Degrees has something for everyone, thanks to the careful attention to detail that goes into every step of the roasting process.
