Finca La Hermosa - Sidra - Guatemala
Café PistaAbout This Coffee
This coffee is a Sidra variety from Finca La Hermosa in Guatemala, located on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano in the Chimaltenango region at 1,600 meters altitude. The farm was founded in 2010 by Max Pérez and is grown on mineral-rich volcanic soil. The coffee is processed using a honey method, where cherries are manually harvested at peak ripeness, partially depulped leaving some pulp and mucilage on the beans, then dried slowly on sunny patios with regular turning to ensure uniformity and prevent excessive fermentation. This processing method helps retain the fruit's natural sugars and showcases the Sidra variety's aromatic elegance and complexity.

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.
