Ndwiga Family

The Ndwiga family operates Nginda Estate, a small coffee farm located in Embu County on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. The family produces washed coffee, often utilizing traditional Kenyan SL varieties, which are hand-picked at peak ripeness and dried on raised beds. Their work has been featured by international roasters who highlight the estate's bright, floral, and fruit-forward flavor profiles. The farm collaborates with local partners to manage processing and export, focusing on clean and expressive lots.
