Hidden City

Our Hidden City Coffee Blend is Zoka's darkest roast, created using a blend of coffees that provide dimensionality and a roast profile that preserves the intrinsic qualities of the coffee. It's vibrant and sweet for a coffee roasted to this degree.

Rich, dark chocolate dominates the flavor profile accented with fresh and dried fruits (figs and dates).

Hidden City is a medium-full bodied coffee with low-medium acidity. Cupping notes of dark chocolate, plum, caramel, pecan and molasses.

Hidden City, offered by Zoka Coffee, presents a profile defined by deep, resonant sweetness and rich, earth-toned complexity. The roaster’s tasting notes highlight a combination of dark chocolate, figs, dates, and plum, balanced by the grounding, savory undertones of caramel, pecan, and molasses. Such a profile often suggests a roast degree that emphasizes body and caramelized sugars, moving away from the bright acidity found in lighter, fruit-forward profiles.

When evaluating coffees with these characteristics, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between dried fruit notes like dates and the deeper, syrupy qualities of molasses. While every coffee is unique, selections featuring these specific flavor markers are frequently sought after by those who prefer a full-bodied cup with a lingering, dessert-like finish. This particular lot showcases how careful roasting can highlight a dense, multifaceted sweetness that remains consistent from the first sip to the final drop.
