WS4 - Kirinyaga AB Top

About This Coffee

This AB Top selection is produced at the Kii Washing Station in Kirinyaga County, located on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya. The coffee is grown at 1,600-1,800 meters above sea level on fertile volcanic soil by smallholder farmers of the Rungeto Farmers' Cooperative Society. The varieties are SL-28 and SL-43. Coffee cherries are selectively handpicked and delivered within seven hours, then undergo 24 hours of fermentation followed by washing and clean-water soak. The parchment is density-graded and dried slowly on raised beds under shade nets, then conditioned for up to two months. The coffee delivers citrus clarity, plum sweetness, and red-berry depth with bright acidity and refined balance. Flavor notes include red currant, raspberry, and pomegranate.

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.
