Ngila Estate Kent AB
Grown on the edge of Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area, this washed Kent AB lot comes from Ngila Estate - a farm nestled between cloud forest and the wildlife corridors that cross northern Arusha. At 1,600 metres above sea level, cool temperatures and rich volcanic soils provide the foundation for bright, structured coffees like this one.
Harvested in July and August 2024, the cherries were carefully hand-sorted, pulped, and washed on-site at Ngila, then fermented for 15 hours before being dried on raised beds for two weeks. Once fully dried, the lot was hulled and prepared for export at Rafiki Mill in Moshi.
Ngila has a long history in Tanzanian coffee, first planted in the early 1900s and now run by Vera Stücker and a dedicated local team. The farm is Rainforest Alliance certified, and sustainability runs through everything they do—from tree planting and biochar use to water conservation and community investment.
