Escape Coffee

When you focus on one thing, many things happen. And at Escape, that one thing was always coffee. That's why we cross continents, explore different roasting techniques, flavours, infusions, and sustainable practices. We work with local artists, hand-package our selections and deliver to distributors. 

We have decided to choose our coffees carefully, taking into consideration the quality, taste, social impact, transport, origin and treatment of employees. We deliver our products with the most ecological means of transport possible and pack our products only with compostable or reusable packaging. 

We build Escape by putting the planet, people and quality before profit. At Escape, this is our main philosophy. With all the information we have regarding the social and environmental impacts of our actions, we firmly believe that companies and brands must take responsibility. 

'Coffee is a moment to escape. A chance to free yourself from the routine of everyday life to achieve something greater, that inspires, motivates and illuminates.'

Estela Washed Yellow Caturra

Spring in Montreal is chaos. This coffee gets it.

Grown high in the Peruvian Andes, where cold and damp conditions are part of daily life, this lot comes from producer Felipe Estela, one of the first in his area to step into coffee production. His focus? Quality, reliability, and doing things right – every season.

This washed Typica and Bourbon blend is sweet and steady, with notes of sponge toffee, ground cherry, and canned pear. It starts cozy, finishes clean, and keeps you coming back for another sip.

Peru’s coffee history is layered, shaped by colonialism, politics, and constant change. From its introduction by Jesuit missionaries to shifting systems of production and export, the industry has endured through it all. Our partnership with Crop to Cup helps ensure the farmers we work with are paid fairly and that labour is treated ethically. Because great coffee tastes even better when it’s rooted in care and respect.
