This coffee is a single-origin Bourbon Rouge variety from the Ngoma washing station in the Nyamasheke district of Rwanda. Grown at an altitude of 1850 meters, the cherries are hand-picked and processed using a meticulous method involving flotation, depulping, water immersion, and a 30-40 day slow drying process on raised beds. This coffee offers a silky body with distinct flavor notes of cherry and kiwi. It is suitable for both espresso and filter brewing methods.
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.
