From the roaster

En fragancia es muy dulce, con notas a fruta deshidratada como los orejones. Estas notas son muy características de los cafés de lavado de Burundi que tanto nos gustan. También podemos encontrar miel y notas florales a flores blancas. Tiene una acidez melosa y un cuerpo sedoso. El retrogusto es largo y agradable y te deja una sensación en boca melosa y dulce como a miel.

Nomad Coffee

Context

Nemba from Nomad Coffee showcases Burundi's distinctive coffee profile through a washed process that emphasizes clarity and delicate aromatics. Washed coffees typically highlight the bean's inherent character, and this lot expresses itself through dried fruit and stone fruit notes—particularly apricot—alongside floral complexity and honey sweetness. Burundi's coffee-growing regions produce coffees known for their nuanced flavor development, and Nemba's combination of fruit-forward character with white flower aromatics reflects this terroir-driven approach. The honey body provides balance to the brighter acidity these washed Burundian coffees characteristically display.
