From the roaster

Our medium roast Tangletown has sweet and crisp natural citrus flavors. Since the opening of our Green Lake store in the Tangletown neighborhood in 1997, Tangletown has been a customer favorite. The name describes the confusing meeting of various neighborhood streets from which the trolley cars of days gone by, once traversed.

Tangletown is a medium roast made from coffees from Central American and Colombian farms we have been buying from for many years.

Context

The Tangletown 5LB Bag, crafted by Zoka Coffee, represents a balanced approach to blending, drawing from both Central American and Colombian origins. By combining beans from these distinct regions, the roaster aims to highlight a profile defined by sweetness and crisp natural citrus. When evaluating such blends, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the specific nuances of acidity and sugar browning that often emerge in these profiles.

Generally, Central American coffees are frequently celebrated for their bright, clean acidity, while Colombian lots are often prized for their reliable body and caramel-like sweetness. When these origins are thoughtfully integrated, they can create a versatile cup that performs well across various brewing methods. This particular offering focuses on a clean, citrus-forward experience, making it a staple for those who appreciate a bright and approachable morning brew.
