Tarrazú, Costa Rica Producer: Carlos Montero Elevation: 1700 MASL Process: Honey Quality means buying high quality coffees from established producers around the world. Traceability gives recognition to the producers and validates where the coffee is grown, picked, and processed. We endeavor to contextualize the importance of a fair and balanced trade through the prices we pay. As an Independent Specialty Coffee Roaster, we always pay well above the C-Market based on two factors; the quality of coffee and the cost of production. A fair wage begins with paying higher premiums to the coffee producer in tandem with providing competitive wages and benefits for our staff here at Metric.
