Mukunga Estate is owned and operated by Hanner Wanjiku Mukunga. The estate’s high altitude from 1850 to 1880 masl creates the ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality coffee. Hanner complements these conditions with a focus on quality-oriented processing.
Approximately 90% of the trees on Mukunga estate are SL28. The remaining trees are Ruiru 11. Most of the coffee trees on the farm were planted in the 1970s and still generate outstanding fruit.
Hanner selectively handpicks ripe red cherry and processes it on the estate using his own wet mill. Cherry is pulped, fermented and washed in clean water and laid to dry on raised beds for around 15 days, depending on conditions.
