We're so lucky to work with the good folks at Las Lajas year after year. There's really nothing else quite like it. Bursting with flavor is an understatement. Like the cup can't hold all the flavor. Head scratching tasting notes, tumbling out as we're trying to describe this beauty. Cherry cola and sage. Yeah, we tasted that. More as well. In fact, here's the whole list from our 'cupping sesh. Honey, sage, fruit punch, pink bubblegum, mead, rum, hibiscus, wild, lemongrass, blueberry, grape soda, tart cherry, lemonade, mineral water, maraschino cherry, cherry cola, sweet tarts, dark chocolate, round body, balanced acidity. Nuts, right? Actually, no nuts. Everything else though.
We aim to create an approachable environment where everyone has a seat at the table and the bean benefits all.
With every brew, we pour our passion and expertise into designing a cup of coffee with your pleasure and tastes in mind.
All our coffee is purchased at or above fair trade price from transparent and sustainable brokers and farmers.
As coffee nerds, we have a quirky outlook sourced from the early days of science fiction, fantasy, and lore.
Like waking up in Manuel Antonio. Accept no substitute.
Pretty nice chocolate start with a nutty smooth finish.
There’s a saying we use in Costa Rica and this coffee embodies its essence: Pura Vida
This has an assertive and delicious taste profile. It is unlike the Sasaba and Papua New Guinea coffees we have been drinking recently. It is a pleasant change.
I loved the cherry flavors
It is a full bodied roast which I could not stop drinking! Served a cup to my handyman and he also said he had never tasted such great coffee!
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
