Kenya Gatura is a reserve lot from the Muhito Farmers Cooperative Society in Nyeri, Kenya. This washed coffee features SL28 and SL34 varieties, showcasing classic Kenyan processing with hand-picked, hand-sorted cherries, 24-hour fermentation, density sorting, and 15-day raised bed drying. The cup profile features black cherry, nectarine, and bright citrus notes with balanced sweetness and clarity.
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.
