From the roaster

Tatoosh is a delectable dark roast coffee with notes of strawberry, black cherry and chocolate. We developed this blend of dark roast coffees to include both Naturally processed coffees as well as Washed processed coffees from Africa, Papua New Guinea, Central and South America. The strawberry and black cherry notes of the Naturals meet with the chocolaty overtones of the South American coffees. Add in bold and smooth coffees from Papua New Guinea and Tatoosh becomes a truly unique, great dark roast coffee.

The Name Tatoosh comes from the Tatoosh Mountain Range in Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State. The Native American name means Nourishing Beast and was one of our early blends created in our first store near Green Lake.

Context

Zoka Coffee's Tatoosh blend combines natural and washed processing methods, a hybrid approach that balances the fruit-forward characteristics typical of each technique. The roaster identifies strawberry and black cherry alongside chocolate notes, suggesting a coffee that bridges bright acidity with deeper, roasted body. This 5LB bag format suits both regular home brewers and small cafés seeking consistent quality. Understanding how processing choices influence final flavor can help you appreciate the interplay between the blend's fruit and cocoa components—each method contributing distinct dimensions to the cup.
