Colectivo - Mary Luz Ruiz
Café PistaAbout This Coffee
This coffee is grown by Mary Luz Ruiz at El Placer farm in the San Agustín region of southern Huila, Colombia. Mary Luz is responsible for all production stages including plant maintenance, cherry selection, fermentation, and drying. Cherries are harvested every three weeks after being left on branches for two weeks for full ripening. After picking, cherries remain in a cement funnel for 12 hours, then undergo dry fermentation for 36 hours in tanks. The coffee is washed, drained for one hour, and transferred to ELDA-type drying beds where it dries for 18 to 20 days.

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.
