Nemba, Burundi

Clean and refreshing, with
plenty of dried fruit and panela
both in aroma and flavor. A juicy
acidity reminiscent of
strawberries and red plums and a
lingering aftertaste of milk
chocolate and honey. It's always
one of our favorite filters at
Nomad, and the incredible work
done at the Nemba washing
station allows us to offer it
year after year.
The Nemba station in Kayanza
oversees Good Agricultural
Practices and educates farmers.
It uses a monitoring system to
trace production and processing.
The 3,000 farmers deliver their
cherries, located at over 1,700
meters altitude. The station has
200 drying tables and can
process up to 750 metric tons of
cherries annually. It engages in
supportive projects, including
livestock breeding and Farmer
Hub.
During harvesting, coffee is
handpicked and pulped within the
next 6 hours. It ferments with
LALCAFÉ INTENSOTM yeast for 96
hours to enhance flavors. After
washing and grading, cherries
dry for 10-14 days and are
evaluated in the laboratory
before being bagged, maintaining
traceability.
