microlot coffee

There are some coffee beans which have been found to have a unique quality or flavour. The shrubs which produce these beans are therefore given special treatment by the producer in order to enhance these qualities.  The special patch or microlot may be in a larger stand of coffee bushes, or it may be a small clump that grows in a location that brings out the best in the coffee. But it is tended lovingly and its crop is kept separate from the main crop and the buyers give it respect. So too do the coffee drinkers, eventually.
