Finca La Soledad
Café PistaAbout This Coffee
This coffee is a Gesha variety from Finca La Soledad, located on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano in Guatemala. The farm is managed by the Perez family, sixth-generation producers, and spans 90 hectares with half dedicated to coffee cultivation. The coffee benefits from a cool microclimate and rich volcanic soil. The lot is processed using a classic washed method: hand-picked ripe cherries are fermented for 40 to 45 hours in cement tanks, carefully washed, then slow-dried for 12 to 18 days on African beds. The cup profile features floral aromas with notes of jasmine, sharp lemony acidity, and a black tea finish.

Café Pista
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.
