NGARATUA ESTATE
Peterson and Purity Muthathai continue a family farming legacy at Ngaratua Estate, producing carefully grown coffees in Kenya’s Embu region.
NGARATUA ESTATE
Ngaratua Estate is a family-run farm in Embu, managed by Peterson Muthathai and his wife Purity. We first met them through our work in the region and have been impressed by their openness, consistency and clear focus on quality. Situated at 1600 masl, the farm benefits from cool temperatures and steady rainfall, supporting slow cherry development. The predominance of SL28, combined with careful washed processing, shapes a clean and expressive profile. This lot reflects both the environment and the producers’ approach, showing a bright, layered cup with notes of oolong, stone fruit, raspberry and green mango.
