Moses Kamura Nganga
The farm and small wet mill are located in Central Kenya, in Kiambu, Gatundu South County, Kiganjo Sub-county, which is 60 kilometres from Nairobi city. Initially, the Nganga family was delivering their coffee to Kimaratia FCS (a cooperative). In 2011 Moses’ father sub-divided his land and that’s when Moses and his wife acquired 9 acres and started pulping / wet processing their coffee. The estate has 4100 coffee trees, 2400 Ruiru 11 and 1700 SL28 & 34. Gifted Estate flowers twice within the Kenya coffee calendar January/February for the main crop and October/November for the fly crop. This lot is from the main crop in 2020 – an obviously challenging year. It’s so nice to have this coffee back.
