REJOICE, CAPTAIN CRANKY PANTS, IT’S PERLA NEGRA TIME! It’s always a struggle to narrow down our tasting notes when it comes in—so this year we didn’t. #chicagocoffee#chicagocoffeeroaster#CostaRica

ALT A photo of a bag of Metropolis Coffee’s Costa Rica Perla Negra Single Origin. It sits behind these tasting visuals: a glass of cherry cola, a bowl of blueberries, a shot glass of honey, a measuring cup of bubblegum, a Chemex full of lemonade, a measuring cup of sweet tarts, a bowl of cherries, fresh sage, a glass of fruit punch, fresh lemon slices, a measuring cup of chocolate bars, wild lemongrass, and hibiscus flowers.
Above the photo “We had a lot of tasting notes” is written in a gold gradient. The background is a black gradient pattern, with the Metropolis Coffee skyline & cup logo beneath the photo.
ALT The header text “Here’s what Tony said:” is written in a gold gradient. The body text is white and reads, “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.”

He has fresh sage tucked behind his ear, and a measuring cup of bubble gum beside him. Above the photo the Metropolis font and logo appear in a gold gradient. The background is a black gradient pattern, with the phrase “Great coffee for everyone” also written in a gold gradient.
