This coffee is from Agustina & Familia, and its a Microlot

Microlots are special lots of coffee, selected for their high quality and unique flavour profiles. You will usually find microlots within larger farms or estates, grown in limited quantities and picked and processed entirely separately to the rest of the farm's lots. Imagine a farm which is divided into several plots.on the farm you will find small equipment like pulpers and several home-built parabolic dryers and In some cases, farmers dry parchment (i.e coffee beans with a natural layer still on them) alongside the road.

High-yield varieties like Catimor, Catuai, and Mundo Novo are popular among growers. Besides these sturdier varieties, you will find others like Bourbon, Typica (which locals call ‘National’), and Caturra.
