Beans
- Colombia Aponte Village Honey Process$16.00
Tasting Notes: raspberry, pomegranate, cherry, brown sugar Origin: Colombia, Nariño Process: Honey Elevation: 1525 MASL Most coffees from Colombia are processed using the traditional washed method. This lot, however, goes through a more complex honey process that involves leaving the bean to dry in its mucilage for 20-45 days, using the heavy, cold winds of the region to help promote an even drying process. The producers of this region, an indigenous community called the Inga, were part of the northernmost Inca empire, which colonized the south of Colombia in the late 14th century. Land here is communal, and the population is ruled by a “cabildo” or group of elders who make sure ancestral traditions are upheld. The population of this area have unfortunately been affected by earthquakes in recent years and have turned to specialty coffee to help produce income for the region.
- Peru Las Damas de San Ignacio$14.00

- Mexico Esmeralda EA Natural Decaf$16.00
Decaf Mexico Esmeralda EA Natural Process is decaffeinated using Ethyl Acetate (EA). In this method the green beans are steamed or soaked to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The expanded beans are then soaked in EA, a naturally occurring organic compound found in many fruits and vegetables which can be synthesized for coffee decaffeination. In the presence of EA, caffeine bonds with the compound and is drawn out of the bean. The decaffeinated coffee is then removed from the EA solvent, rinsed thoroughly, re-dried and re-bagged for transport. Ethyl Acetate Decaffeination is one of our favorite methods of decaffeination! It preserves a lot of the original flavor from origin. Tasting Notes: Cocoa, Malt, Soft Pretzel
- Redline Espresso by Metropolis Coffee$14.00
Roasted in Chicago, IL 10.5oz bag. Flavor Profile: This iconic espresso blend is sweetly balanced with syrupy body and layered notes of honey, cocoa, and merlot.
