Behind the Scenes This coffee was cultivated by the fabulous team at Lot 20 in Kericho County in Kenya. They took their name from their initial goal: to export 20 bags of quality coffee to the UK. That was back in 2019 and it goes without saying that this incredible bunch have surpassed their own expectations, and then some!

Over the last few years they have made what seemed impossible very much possible, experimenting with different processes with the aim of improving the quality of their coffee all the time.
