About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from the Ngoma washing station located on the shores of Lake Kivu in the Nyamasheke district of Rwanda. It is produced by approximately 780 small producers and processed at the Ngoma station, which is part of Baho Coffee, founded by Emmanuel Rusatira. Grown at an altitude of about 1850 meters, this coffee is made up of the Red Bourbon variety. The cherries are picked at full ripeness and undergo careful sorting by flotation and hand selection. After being stored in plastic bags for 12 hours, the coffee is fully hand-pulped, washed under running water to remove mucilage, and immersed in water for 8 to 12 hours. It is then dried on raised beds for 30 to 40 days to ensure slow and even drying. This rigorous washed processing preserves the bean's integrity while highlighting the aromatic complexity characteristic of high-altitude Nyamasheke coffees.

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.
