this is a decaf coffee from huila, colombia, processed using the natural method, which means the coffee cherries are dried whole before the beans are extracted. that process tends to carry fruit-forward sweetness into the cup, and here it shows up as a distinct sugar cane quality, clean and gently sweet rather than sharp. metric roasts this one, and because it's a natural decaf, it responds well to brew methods that don't strip sweetness, a pour over or french press at a slightly lower brew temperature, around 90 to 93 celsius, will keep the cup balanced and let that sugar cane note come through without bitterness.

about metric

chicago has a deep specialty coffee culture, and a lot of it runs through the west side, where fulton market has pulled serious roasters and curious drinkers alike into its orbit. metric, at 2021 w fulton st, sits right in that current. it's an independent roastery with a genuine following, the kind of place where regulars don't just drift in and out, they come back with intent. you're not picking this spot because it's convenient; you're picking it because the quality holds up, and people who care about that sort of thing have noticed. west fulton is still a working stretch of the city, which gives the whole block a less performative feel than some of the shinier corridors nearby. worth planning your morning around a filter coffee here.
