Parasol is a seasonal blend featuring high-elevation washed coffees from Costa Rica and Burundi. This coffee offers a balanced profile with a grounded sweetness reminiscent of date sugar and a smooth body. It features floral and juicy notes, including chamomile and a brightness that evokes fresh watermelon. This versatile blend is suitable for both hot and iced brewing methods.
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.
