NGARATUA ESTATE AA

Ngaratua Estate is a 18ha family farm in Embu which is owned and managed by Peterson Muthathai and his wife Purity. We first met them on a cupping trip in 2025 where their coffee really stood out. We visited the estate the next day and were impressed with the terroir and farm management. At 1600 masl, the farm benefits from cool temperatures and steady rainfall. The cherries mature slowly leading to dense beans with complex flavors. Peterson and Purity mostly grow SL28 trees but they graft them with Ruiru 11 cuttings. The cherries are pulped and washed on site. In this bright and layered cup, we taste stonefruit, oolong and raspberry.
