Farm History
The Ngila Coffee Estate was founded around 1920 on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater by a German settler. It was an adventurous endeavor, as one might imagine, but a successful one.
The coffee farmer laid the foundation for the unique coffee that has grown on this volcanic and mineral-rich soil ever since, at an altitude of 1,600 meters on the edge of the misty forests of the Northern Highlands.
Since 1992, the farm has been owned by the Meyer family. Investments in an efficient irrigation system, as well as in water-saving and modern processing technology, have further improved the coffee’s quality.
The coffee is hand-picked and sorted manually. The experienced Tanzanian employees on the Ngila Farm combine modern technology with traditional harvesting methods. It’s no surprise that Ngila Farm coffee is recognized as one of the finest washed Arabica coffees in the Ngorongoro Crater region—a highland coffee worth showcasing.
