More than a thousand smallholders — 1,074 in total, farming an average of 150 trees each — deliver cherry to the station from plots above 1,700 metres, making Nemba one of the larger, more community-driven operations behind this filter roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:299;1448-1746\"\u003eIn the cup that translates to real sweetness: dried apricot up front, a thread of honey running through the middle, and a lift of white flowers on the finish. \u003cstrong\u003eThe acidity is mellow, the body silky, and the aftertaste long and pleasant, leaving a honey-like, sweet sensation lingering on the palate\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:597;1748-2344\"\u003eA lead agronomist oversees the station's Good Agricultural Practice programmes, helping farmers refine everything from pruning to post-harvest handling and giving them the tools and knowledge to optimise their crops. More than 200 drying tables and a 750-tonne annual processing capacity keep quality consistent at scale, even with well over a thousand smallholders supplying cherry. Nemba's work extends beyond the cherry itself, too, with livestock-breeding schemes and cooperative-strengthening programmes aimed at lifting yields and incomes for the wider farming community around the station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:394;2346-2739\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing follows a classic washed method\u003c\/strong\u003e: cherries are hand-picked and pulped, then left to ferment before a clean water wash strips away the remaining mucilage. From there the parchment moves to raised beds in the sun, turned regularly until it dries through evenly — a straightforward approach, but one that depends on consistent handling to protect the coffee's clarity through to export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"28:1-28:245;2741-2985\"\u003eThe variety behind it is Red Bourbon, from the 2025 harvest — a Bourbon strain that's been a mainstay across Burundi's high-altitude growing regions for the c\u003cstrong\u003elean sweetness and floral character it tends to bring to washed coffees like this one\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"30:1-30:90;2987-3076\"\u003eFreshly roasted by \u003cstrong\u003eNOMAD Coffee in Barcelona\u003c\/strong\u003e and imported to the UK by ROAST EDIT Co.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOMAD Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55897396281729,"sku":"NOM-NEMB-F-250","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/5450\/0225\/files\/nomad-nemba-burundi-F.BU.NEM.jpg?v=1783616213","url":"https:\/\/roastedit.co.uk\/products\/nomad-nemba-250g-burundi","provider":"Roast Edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
