Ngarutua

Ngarutua Estate is located in the region of Embu, on the southeastern slopes of Mt. Kenya.  The farm was originally established in the 1940’s and was named after its founder, Paul Muthathai Ngarutua.  Paul's son, Peterson, who began his career as an educator, now oversees operations alongside his wife, Purity.  The two have expanded the original ten acres to its current eighteen, and have planted a staggering 7,000 SL28 coffee trees.  Additionally, they've built an on-site washing station and processing facility to control quality at every stage.

SL28

Named for Scott Agricultural Laboratories - the research organization tasked with coffee development by the British colonial government in the 1930s - SL28 is sought for its exceptional cup quality and high yield potential. It's susceptibility to disease makes it a more labor-intensive cultivar, which is why you'll usually see it blended with other known varietals (e.g. SL34, Batian, Ruiru 11). To have it isolated is increasingly rare, but when found (especially by producers as skilled as the Muthathais) is a very special treat.
