Metropolis Coffee Company - Spice Island Blend, Medium-Dark Roast (Whole Bean, 12Oz Bag)

Spice Island is a blend of Indonesian and South American coffee that we put together to highlight the mild spiciness and sweet-dry walnut and pecan notes of its components. Spice Island is full bodied, but its dry finish is clean and sweet. FLAVOR-Dark Cocoa, Nuts, Toffee ROAST-Medium DarkTHE METROPOLIS PHILOSOPHY - We believe the essence of coffee comes from tension; tension between the hardness of the bean and the heat of the roaster, between the pressure of water in the machine and the dense pack of the fine grind. Reward is finer when earned, and coffee is sweeter when challenged. The name Metropolis comes from Plato's notion of Polis, or city-state. A Polis is complete and sufficient unto itself. Community and the regard for differences among people and their ideas are central to our coffee philosophy. Each bean and tea leaf is sourced with two groups of people in mind: the people that taste them, and the farmers that grow them. Coffee, like art, has an aesthetic. Our coffee aesthetic is rooted in the belief that great coffee comes from a line of respect beginning with the farmers and their respect for their land. We, in turn, respect the farmers by paying fair prices for their harvest, and respect our customers by taking great care in the roasting and brewing our coffees, and in blending our teas. Respect is at the core of our coffee philosophy, and taste is paramount.
