by escape - lab à café · montreal, canada
this is estela, a washed peru from escape - lab à café.
estela uses bourbon and typica varietals with a washed process, a combination that typically yields a clean, balanced cup with mild acidity and gentle sweetness. no specific tasting notes were provided, so expect a refined, lighter-bodied profile rather than anything bold or heavily fruited.
estela is grown in peru using bourbon and typica varietals, both considered heirloom varieties valued for their cup quality. it is processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before drying, which produces a cleaner, more transparent flavor profile.
given the washed process and the clarity-forward nature of bourbon and typica, filter brewing methods such as pour over or drip will best highlight this coffee's structure. grind fresh and use water around 90 to 94 degrees celsius for a balanced extraction.
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.
