Muriama estate, a reimagined second-generation coffee farm in Kenya, reflects the family’s commitment to progress. Founded in 1954 by Simon Ngariama with just 100 trees, the farm spent decades selling coffee cherries to the local cooperative. Since taking over, Simon’s son, Njogu, and his wife Esther have expanded the estate by planting more trees, investing in post-harvest processing equipment, and incorporating it as a private estate named Muriama, a blend of their surnames. The shift to processing their own coffee has allowed them to retain more value and market directly to international buyers, resulting in enhanced quality and transparency. This season's harvest has blood orange-like acidity that is balanced by jammy black currant and hibiscus tones.
