This coffee comes from Finca Tierra de Leyendas located in the Siguatepeque region of Honduras. The farm is managed by Jorge Arturo Serrano Villanueva, a third-generation coffee producer. The coffee is grown at altitudes between 1150 and 1550 meters. It is processed using the washed method with an eco-depulper that reduces water consumption by 90%. The coffee is slowly dried in shaded parabolic greenhouses over 20 to 25 days to develop its flavors. The farm employs sustainable agricultural practices and produces organic fertilizers from coffee pulp.
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.
