The Nemba washing station is located in Kayanza province. There are different points in the area where cherries are picked from Kayanza's more than 3,000 small producers. At each collection point there is an agronomist in charge of teaching good cultivation, care and harvesting practices to each of the producer families. The washing station is also in charge of providing organic fertilizers derived from compost. In addition, the washing station has a "nursery" for coffee trees, small coffee trees ready to be planted by these families in case they want to renovate their small farm. Each of these families owns approximately 250 coffee trees on their small piece of land, which means that they produce between 200 and 300 kilos of coffee cherries per year.
The process of this coffee consists of the selection of the most ripe cherries by means of a sieve in water. Afterwards, the coffee is dry fermented for 12 hours and immersed and washed with clean mountain water for another 12 to 24 hours. Finally, the parchment coffee is dried in African beds for 2 to 3 weeks.
