This coffee is sourced from the Heza Washing Station in the Butanyerera province of Burundi, situated at an altitude of 1,960 meters. Produced by Long Miles Coffee, this selection is processed using the washed method. It reflects the dedication of a tight-knit community of coffee farmers in a remote, mountainous region. The coffee is characterized by its high quality and traceability, representing a commitment to fair trade practices and sustainable production.
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.
