This decaffeinated coffee is from Baho Coffee by Emmanuel Rusatira in Rwanda. It has been decaffeinated using the Swiss Water process. The coffee is a blend of selected lots from three washing stations: Akagera, Muzo and Fugi. The blend includes natural, washed and honey processed coffees. The lots were sent to the Swiss Water decaffeination facility in British Columbia. This traceable coffee is made from recently harvested beans purchased at fair prices.
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.
