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.

Family Project SUPREMO

Our quality standards

We are convinced that no machine can replace a traditional roasting start and a good roasting master. At Supremo, coffee is not industrially produced - because Supremo is a traditional family coffee roaster. Day after day we work hard together to produce the best coffee and to inspire our customers for true coffee enjoyment! We attach great importance to first-class and always checked manual work.

The roasting craft

We roast in several small, traditional cast-iron roasting drums. We take our time until the coffee is really well roasted - each roasting batch separately. Due to the slow roasting, the coffee tastes strong and is particularly easy on the stomach and digestible. Insiders call this "Cast Iron Slow Roast". We call it: "Good things take time". Because if you roast too hot and too fast, you get beans that are brown on the outside - but don't reveal much of the magic inside. But this is exactly what we want to get out of the beans. After roasting, we do not rub the beans with water. We cool them with air and thus give them the opportunity to intensify the roasting aroma. Best craftsmanship and time - that is our secret!
