About This Coffee

This coffee is from producer Jose Herman Salazar's farm in La Cauca, Colombia, ranking #6 in the Colombia Cup of Excellence. The variety is Bourbon-Aji, which has been genetically validated as a newly discovered Ethiopian Landrace, not a bourbon variety as originally thought. Grown at 1,560-1,869 meters altitude on a 6-hectare farm, this coffee is washed processed with 48-hour fermentation in GrainPro bags and dried on African beds. The flavor profile features elderflower, simple syrup, and tamarind notes, with floral earl grey and bergamot aromatics reminiscent of gesha, melon-like sweetness similar to pink bourbon, and tea rose aftertaste. Harvested during the second semester (October-January).

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.
