The CM techniques used to process these coffee look to maximize delicacy and transparency of flavour, rather than intensity The Maguta Coffee Estate, run by David Ngibuini, who works across Nyeri and Embu counties in Central Kenya, and produces some of the most classically extraordinary Kenyan coffee you can access. The Murware Farmers who deliver their cherries to this Estate possess a team spirit and assist each other to maintain their farming standards. This group is a fast-growing cluster of farmers in the Muruguru area with a collective 18000 trees growing coffee cherries on red volcanic soils.
