Decaf Tangletown

Our decaf version of our Tangletown blend, offers a bright and refreshing cup without the caffeine. Named after the winding streets of the Greenlake neighborhood where our first café opened in 1997 (it's still there!), Tangletown pays homage to the historic and charming trolley cars that once navigated Seattle’s streets. Enjoy a flavorful experience that captures the essence of its namesake!

Medium Roasted. Crafted from coffees from Colombia, Decaf Tangletown is medium body with a medium-bright acidity. Sweet cocoa, caramel and lightly roasted cereal-barely maltiness. Notes of black tea with honey sweetness and a touch of citrus with a clean finish.

Decaffeinated coffees from Colombia maintain considerable complexity when thoughtfully processed, and this Zoka Coffee offering demonstrates how decaf need not compromise on depth. The roaster emphasizes a balanced profile anchored in cocoa and caramel sweetness—notes that typically emerge from careful roasting rather than origin alone. The presence of cereal and malt undertones suggests a lighter touch, allowing the coffee's inherent character to surface without the heaviness that can accompany darker roasts. The citrus and black tea notes add brightness and structure, creating a composition that rewards attention. For those seeking decaf without sacrifice, this lot illustrates how decaffeination, when paired with quality sourcing and roasting craft, yields a nuanced cup suitable for multiple occasions.
