Intelligentsia, a celebrated Chicago coffee brand based in Chicago, Il. Direct trade, dedication to the aroma and single-origine coffees are the three pillars the company lies on. I explored each coffee shop, roasting works, office and training lab in Chicago and Los Angeles and met a great number of incredible people dedicated to bring the aroma to its highest picks.
