Decaf Tangletown
Decaf Tanglewood from Seattle's Zoka Coffee proves that great decaf doesn't have to taste like compromise. Named after the winding streets of the Greenlake neighborhood where Zoka opened its first café in 1997, this medium roast Colombian blend delivers the brightness and complexity you'd expect from fully caffeinated coffee—just without the jitters.
Zoka uses a water-process decaffeination method that preserves origin character while removing 99.9% of the caffeine. The result is a surprisingly vibrant cup that honors its Colombian terroir with sweetness, clarity, and a satisfying finish.
Tasting Notes
Decaf Tangletown opens with sweet cocoa and caramel aromatics, backed by the gentle malt of lightly toasted cereal grains. The medium body carries black tea tannins and honey sweetness through the midpalate, finishing with a whisper of citrus brightness and remarkable cleanliness. Acidity is medium-bright—enough to keep the cup lively without sharpness. This is decaf that drinks like the real thing, because it is.
Brew Methods
This coffee shines across multiple brew methods. As drip coffee or pour over, Decaf Tangletown showcases its tea-like clarity and honey sweetness. French press amplifies the cocoa and malt notes while building body. It also pulls surprisingly well as espresso—the caramel sweetness concentrates beautifully, and the medium roast level provides enough solubility for balanced extraction. For cold brew, expect smooth chocolate and stone fruit notes with minimal bitterness.
About Zoka Coffee
