Finca La Soledad - Guatemala
Café PistaAbout This Coffee
This Gesha variety coffee comes from Finca La Soledad, located on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano in Guatemala. The farm, managed by the Perez family (sixth-generation producers), spans 90 hectares with half dedicated to coffee cultivation and half preserved as natural forest. The coffee benefits from a cool microclimate and rich volcanic soil. Ripe cherries are hand-picked, fermented for 40 to 45 hours in cement tanks, then washed and dried for 12 to 18 days on African beds using a classic washed process. The cup profile features floral aromas with notes of jasmine, sharp lemony acidity, and a black tea finish.

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.
