Terrazas Del Pisque
CantookAbout This Coffee
This single-origin coffee comes from Finca Terrazas del Pisque, a 38-hectare farm in the Pichincha region of Ecuador. Fifteen hectares are dedicated to specialty coffee cultivation, with the remainder supporting avocado and citrus trees to preserve biodiversity. The farm emphasizes sustainable agriculture and harvesting at full maturity. The coffee features the Pacamara variety, a hybrid between Pacas and Maragogype, known for its large bean size and rich aromatic profile. Each lot is carefully processed using washed, natural, or anaerobic fermentation methods to reveal the full potential of the fruit.

Cantook
Tucked along Rue Saint Jean in Quebec City, Cantook Micro Torrefaction carries a name inspired by the lumberjack's tool known as a "can't hook," a nod to the collaboration between French and English settlers that shaped Canada's identity. The family behind Cantook has been in coffee since 1982, with the current business on Saint Jean Street operating since 1998 under co ownership since 2005. They roast on a Diedrich IR 12, with the process fully visible to guests who come for expertly prepared pour overs, espresso drinks, and the cafe's beloved matcha cookies. Direct trade relationships, including origin trips to Costa Rica, ensure that quality and transparency guide every roast.
