The Muthathai family—owners of Ngarutua Estate—have been growing coffee on the slopes of Mount Kenya since 1958. Today, Peterson and Purity Muthathai run the farm with the help of their children. Over the years, they’ve worked to retain more of their coffee's value on the farm. They’ve invested in processing infrastructure and coordinated efforts with nearby small estates to improve quality and market access. The culmination of this collaboration is a syrupy, sweet coffee with dynamic currant and cranberry notes.
