Single-origin coffee from San Gil, Santander region in northeastern Colombia. Grown at lower altitude under heavy shade (up to 100%) due to warmer conditions. Decaffeinated using ethyl acetate (EA) process derived from sugarcane grown in Manizales, Caldas, removing a minimum of 97% of caffeine. The beans are treated with a food-grade wax coating for protection and shelf stability. Medium roast suitable for drip brewing.
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.
