estela is a washed peruvian coffee from escape, lab à café, grown with bourbon and typica varietals. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner cup with well-defined acidity and clarity in the glass. without specific tasting notes supplied, expect the varietal and process combination to lean toward gentle sweetness, mild acidity, and a light, clean body typical of andean washed coffees. bourbon and typica are heirloom varietals known for balanced, refined cups rather than bold or funky profiles. best approached with filter methods that highlight clarity, such as pour over or drip, at a light to medium roast.

common questions

What does Estela taste like?

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.

How is Estela grown and processed?

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.

How should I brew Estela?

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.

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.
