castillo is a washed colombian coffee from nariño, roasted by escape, lab à café. nariño sits in the southern andes near the ecuadorian border, where high altitude and cool temperatures slow cherry development and concentrate sugars. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, keeping the cup clean and highlighting the bean's inherent character. without additional tasting notes supplied, expect the clarity and brightness typical of high-altitude washed colombians. it suits filter brewing, where that clean structure comes through clearly. grind medium, use water around 93°c, and aim for a 3 to 4 minute brew time.

about escape - lab à café

escape lives up to its name on rue notre dame ouest, where the steady hum of conversation mingles with the satisfying click of ceramic against wood. this isn't the kind of place where baristas recite origin stories like trained parrots. instead, you get the quiet confidence that comes from people who actually understand coffee extraction ratios and aren't afraid to adjust them mid-shift. the 4.8 rating from nearly 200 reviews tells you what locals already know: consistency matters more than instagram angles. watch how regulars order without looking at the menu, how they trust whatever single origin is featured that week. the milk steaming technique here produces foam that doesn't collapse before you've taken three sips. small details. but they're the ones that separate decent coffee from the kind that makes you cross downtown montreal just to get your fix.
