ABOUT
Nemba Station is in the northern province of Kayanza. This washing station participates in several farmer outreach and support projects that strengthen cooperatives and improve yields within the producing community. This specific lot is a step in a new direction for our sourcing team. This yeast-inoculated lot uses specially formulated yeasts to promote the creation of enhanced deliciousness during fermentation.
The LALCAFÉ INTENSO™ yeast was developed for coffee production over four years of research and trials. It works by controlling the fermentation process against the risk of spoilage microorganisms, and its specific metabolism promotes the lot’s natural fruit forward profile.
In the past, due to several significant internal and external factors, we have yet to be able to establish a continued relationship with a producer group or exporter from Burundi. In the last two years, we have made it a focus of our sourcing strategy to partner with exporters like Sucafina to establish relationships here and cement a long-term place for this origin on our menu.
