Marani Banana Infused Natural

86.0 Cup Score

A truly unique process where the beans are infused with bananas during fermentation. This innovative method adds a distinct complexity to the coffee, yet the final cup doesn’t resemble banana at all. Instead, you’re treated to vibrant tropical vibes and a crisp citrus acidity, delivering a lively and refreshing experience with every sip.

This coffee is a testament to the creativity and experimentation that push the boundaries of traditional coffee processing. The banana infusion adds a subtle layer of intrigue, enhancing the natural flavours without overpowering them. The result is a beautifully balanced cup that offers a dynamic and invigorating flavour profile, perfect for those looking to explore something new and exciting.

Name Lot 20
Year Started 2019
Location Kericho County, Kenya See on a map

Lot 20 Coffee, located in the highlands of Kericho, Kenya, is dedicated to exploring new possibilities in coffee processing. By embracing a hands-on, experimental approach, Lot 20 seeks to produce coffee with unique and refined flavour profiles.

Originally focused on exporting coffee from Bomet and Kericho counties, Lot 20 has gradually expanded its scope. They now collaborate with more regions across Kenya and experiment with innovative processing techniques like yeast and co-fermentation to enhance the quality of their coffee.

Lot 20 is committed to keeping its operations rooted in the local community. By opting for smaller-scale processing facilities in Kericho rather than high-tech options in Nairobi, they aim to support the local economy and create employment opportunities. This approach is reflected in the creation of Metibellion Coffee Co, the washing station established by Lot 20 in 2024, which they are planning to expand by including the construction of a decaffeination plant.

Supporting the community is a key aspect of Lot 20's work. Farmers partnering with them receive fair prices for their cherries, along with financial literacy training and access to quality seedlings and expert advice. Additionally, their co-fermentation processes enable them to buy locally grown fruit, further contributing to the local economy. Through these efforts, Lot 20 Coffee aims to make a positive impact on both the coffee they produce and the community they work alongside.
