About This Coffee

This is a single origin Ethiopian coffee from the Gora Kone washing station in West Arsi, Sidamo region. The coffee is grown at 1,900-2,050 meters above sea level and consists of Heirloom varieties. It undergoes a washed process with 42-46 hours of fermentation, followed by drying on parabolic raised beds over 30 days. The flavor profile features explosive citrus aromatics with sweet ripe fruits like peaches and tangerines, followed by black cherry aftertaste and a honey finish. The coffee offers a sweet fruity character with a lingering and pleasant fruity aftertaste.

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.
