Origin and the farm

Ngerwe comes from the Mount Kenya region in Embu County, where the cool climate and nutrient-rich volcanic soil create optimal conditions for growing high-quality coffee.

Together with the Kathakwa, Gikrima, Gicherori, and Ndunduri farms, Ngerwe makes up the Kibugu Farmer Cooperative Society.

Ngerwe receives support from Coffee Management Services (CMS), which works long-term to increase coffee production through farmer education, access to production inputs, and seminars on good agricultural practices. As part of this effort, an updated handbook on sustainable farming is prepared and distributed every year, and annual further training is offered to the factory managers.

A wash station in the middle of the hills

Ngerwe is processed using the washed method. The coffee cherries are pressed to force out the beans, and the beans are fermented to break down the sticky fruit pulp. The beans are then washed, and the coffee is dried slowly and carefully. This method gives the coffee a higher level of acidity, increased complexity, and a cleaner cup.
