| Lot | Green coffee is packaged in jute bags usually weighing from 132 to 154 pounds, depending on origin. These are then typically batched into lots of 250 to 300 plus bags which fit perfectly into standard shipping containers. Such lots tend to be blends of coffee from a region and almost always represent a fair average quality at best. Roaster’s coffee blends and single origin coffees without farm or cooperative labeling are typically made of such lots. The cutting edge of specialty coffee is the production of smaller lots from a single day’s harvest from a single producer, leading to higher quality and a clearer expression of terroir. |
