Nemba

The aroma is very sweet, with notes of dried fruit such as dried apricots. These notes are very characteristic of the Washed coffees that we love so much. You can also detect hints of honey and floral notes of white flowers. It has a mellow acidity and a silky body. The aftertaste is long and pleasant, leaving a honey-like, sweet sensation in the mouth.

The Washed station, located in the northern province of Kayanza, Burundi, is a key hub for the production of high-quality coffee. It receives coffee cherries from 1,074 smallholder farmers, each with an average of 150 coffee trees, grown at altitudes above 1,700 meters above sea level, near the Kibila Forest.

Under the supervision of a lead agronomist, Nemba implements Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and farmer education programs, ensuring that producers have access to the tools and knowledge necessary to optimize their crops. The station has over 200 drying tables and has the capacity to process up to 750 metric tons of cherries per year.

In addition, Nemba participates in various community support projects, including livestock breeding initiatives and programs focused on strengthening cooperatives and improving agricultural yields. These actions not only improve coffee quality but also contribute to the sustainable development of the local community.
