David Maguta Ngibuini

David Maguta Ngibuini is more than just a coffee farmer; he is a visionary who has dedicated his life to producing superior quality coffee. Raised on this farm, David learned the secrets of farming from a young age. In the case of coffee processed using the supernatural method, David carefully selects only cherries that are ripe at the peak of sweetness, ensuring a perfect taste. Through attention to detail and the adoption of modern techniques, he creates coffees that stand out in the international market.

The supernatural process

The supernatural process applied at Maguta Estate brings an extra layer of complexity to the coffee. After the cherries are harvested at peak ripeness, they undergo a controlled fermentation that intensifies the aromas and develops a unique profile. The cherries are then dried on raised African beds, a method that uses minimal water resources and preserves the coffee’s fruity and sweet characteristics. The result is a vibrant coffee with well-defined aromas that reflect the care and craftsmanship of the process.

Altitude: A key advantage

At 1,750 meters above sea level, Maguta Estate benefits from perfect conditions for growing Arabica coffee. The high altitude ensures cooler temperatures, which slows down the ripening process of the beans, allowing for the development of more complex flavors. The rich volcanic soil and unique microclimate also contribute to an exceptional flavor profile. These factors make Maguta Estate coffee beans recognized for their balance and distinct character.
