El Camino ~ Micro-batch from South America LNVC
Café PistaAbout This Coffee
This micro-batch coffee from Brazil comes from the Espirito Santo region, specifically from the Afonso Claudio area in the center of the province. It is produced by three producers - Altamiro Lüdke, Anilar Simer de Vargas, and Dalmo Ruchdeschel - who pool their harvests through the Coopeavi cooperative. The coffee is grown at 1000 meters altitude and consists of various typical regional varieties including Catuaì, Catucaì, Obata, and Mundo Novo. Hand-picked at full maturity between July and December, the coffee undergoes washed processing with 24-72 hours of fermentation before being dried on raised beds. The coffee features flavor notes of cocoa, vanilla, and molasses with a sweet, syrupy texture.

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.
