This coffee is produced by Bernardo Chavez in the Andean foothills of Nariño, Colombia. Cultivated on a plot featuring Castillo and Caturra varieties, the coffee benefits from the unique microclimate of the region. It offers a flavor profile characterized by vibrant fruit, layered sweetness, and balanced intensity, reflecting the care and experience of a producer farming in the area since the 1990s.
Metric Coffee emerged in 2013 from a partnership between Darko Arandjelovic, formerly of Caffe Streets, and Xavier Alexander, an Intelligentsia roaster since 2009. Operating from the West Fulton neighborhood of Chicago, Metric roasts on a meticulously restored 1961 Probat drum roaster, maintaining equipment that speaks to the roastery's appreciation for craft and precision. The company's recent expansion with Milli by Metric in a century old Avondale building reflects Metric's growth while staying true to its focus on quality, consistency, and ecological mindfulness in every roasted batch.
