Rurima Estate sits in the foothills of Mount Kenya, in Embu County, where Lucy Wanja Ndogo runs the family farm and wet mill alongside four of her siblings.
Their father founded the estate and named it in honour of his own father; after his passing the land was parcelled into individual plots, farmed independently by family members who bring their cherry to the shared mill to be processed and lotted together for sale. Asked what she learned from him, Lucy answered simply: patience, resilience and hard work. That ethos carries through in the estate's ongoing focus on quality and sustainable practice, and in the cup it lands as a juicy, bright coffee with blueberry, caramel and mandarin.
