Bombe Basha Special RH

About This Coffee

This Red Honey lot from the Bombe kebele in the Bensa district of Sidama, Ethiopia, is grown at elevations between 2,100 and 2,250 meters. Produced by Basha Bekele and approximately 500 local smallholder farmers from the Sidama community, the coffee benefits from clay-rich soils, cool temperatures, and traditional farming practices. Processing uses the Red Honey method, where cherries are partially depulped with substantial mucilage retained during drying to enhance sweetness and texture. The cup reveals notes of black forest cake, brown sugar, pomegranate, and rose, finishing with a black tea structure. Heirloom and landrace varieties, Grade 1.

Moving Coffee Roastery

Founded in 2016 by Japanese Canadian roaster Takuro Watanabe, Moving Coffee Roastery brings a distinctly Japanese sensibility to Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighborhood. The name reflects a commitment to constantly evolving and pushing forward in the craft. Takuro roasts on a Fuji Royal, a Japanese brand prized for precision, producing light profiles that emphasize clarity and delicate flavor development across single origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Guatemala, Panama, and select Geisha varieties. The minimalist Japanese aesthetic of the space, all wood, white, and concrete, mirrors the meticulous attention to detail that goes into every brew and roast. Wholesale partnerships are kept deliberately selective, limited to cafes that share the same quality standards, and a subscription service delivers carefully curated monthly selections.
