Café PistaAbout This Coffee
This single-origin coffee is grown by Mary Luz Ruiz on the El Placer farm in the San Agustín region of southern Huila, Colombia. Cherries are harvested every three weeks after being left on branches for two weeks to ensure full ripeness. The processing includes 12 hours in a cement funnel, followed by 36 hours of dry fermentation in tanks. After washing and draining for one hour, the coffee dries on ELDA-type beds for 18 to 20 days. Mary Luz manages all production stages from plant maintenance through cherry selection, fermentation, and drying.

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.
