Mercy Murathe
the wife of the late William Murathe, she is now the one in charge of the
Ibutiti farm.
William Murathe was the head of the Ibutiti estate for almost 50 años.
He was not only a coffee farmer, but a successful businessman.
In his early days, William built up a wine and spirits import and distribution business and later entered politics, even representing his representation in Parliament. William may have been very entrepreneurial but he was extremely committed to his coffee.

He built the small washing station that was constructed in años 1980s and the family house at Farm Ibutiti shortly thereafter. The washing station is meticulously clean and has a complete and small warehouse where all the parchment can be stored and conditioned. Very sadly, we recently learned that he passed away in 2017, at the años of 86, and the estate and benefit are now run by his wife Maercy and son David, who for many años had helped his father tend to all the jobs.
