This coffee is a single-origin from Guatemala, grown on Finca La Hermosa on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano. The farm features mineral-rich volcanic soil and a climate conducive to specialty coffee, with about 1,000 mm of rainfall annually and a steady 21°C temperature. The project emphasizes traditional and innovative practices and relies on organic farming methods in collaboration with its team and Apex Coffee Imports. This lot is sourced through CafÉ Pista’s partner suppliers.
What began in 2014 as Le Pista Cafe Mobile, a bicycle powered coffee cart created by Maxime Richard, has grown into a Montreal roastery with three brick and mortar locations. The first permanent cafe opened on Beaubien Street in 2016, and roasting now takes place on a Loring S15 Falcon at the Rue Masson location. Cafe Pista maintains a farm to table mentality, building direct relationships with producers to ensure quality and traceability from origin to cup. In a uniquely Montreal twist, select locations transform into Vin Public wine bars on Thursday and Friday evenings, blending coffee culture with the city's vibrant social scene.
