This coffee is sourced from the Heza Washing Station in the Kayanza province of Burundi, located at an altitude of 2,100 meters. Produced by Long Miles Coffee, this lot is processed using the washed method. The coffee is grown in the remote hills of the Butanyerera Province, reflecting the high-quality standards and transparency practices of the producer.
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.
