This coffee is produced by Abdo Aba Mecha in the Bedeyi area of Limu, Jimma, Ethiopia. Grown at an altitude of 1900-2200 meters on a 30-hectare farm, the coffee consists of 74110 and 74112 varieties. It is a natural processed coffee with a flavor profile featuring blackberry compote, dried fig, and dark chocolate. The roast is intentionally darker to provide a generous, textured cup suitable for both intense espresso and gourmet filter brewing.
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.
