El Camino ~ Micro-batch from South America LNVC
Café PistaAbout This Coffee
This micro-batch coffee is from the Espirito Santo region (Spirit) of Brazil, specifically from the Afonso Claudio area in the center of the province. Produced by three farmers—Altamiro Lüdke, Anilar Simer de Vargas, and Dalmo Ruchdeschel—at 1000 meters altitude. The lot consists of varieties typical of the region including Catuaì, Catucaì, Obata, and Mundo Novo. Hand-picked at full maturity between July and December, the coffee is washed processed, fermented in water basins for 24-72 hours, and dried on raised beds. The coffee is syrupy and sweet with flavor notes of cocoa, vanilla, and molasses. Processed through the Coopeavi cooperative before export.

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.
