From the roaster
Muscat grape, blackberry, tamarind
A six-acre farm nestled in Kiambu County, Ngethu is operated by the Kamau family, longtime partners whose care is evident in every harvest. Planted with Ruiru 11 trees and shaded by macadamia, the farm’s fertile conditions yield a vibrant, fruit-forward cup. We taste Muscat grape, blackberry, and tamarind in this expressive lot.
