Story

Triangle Accent

Tumbaga, an alloy of gold, copper, and silver, was used in pre-Columbian cultures for intricate metalwork, symbolizing the harmonious balance between gold and silver. The name “Tumbaga” is now used to represent this coffee, embodying the same balance of great coffee without the caffeine. The producers meticulously select fresh, high-quality coffee beans, carefully chosen to harmonize with the decaffeination process, ensuring a consistent and exceptional cup of coffee.

Tumbaga coffee undergoes a unique decaffeination process using Ethyl Acetate (EA), a substance derived from sugar cane. EA is combined with fresh water to gently extract caffeine from the beans without resorting to excessive heat, pressure, or chemicals. This approach preserves the coffee’s inherent characteristics, authentic essence, and qualities, all without the use of any artificial additives.

Story:

Roast Magazine's 2023 Roaster of the Year finalist. Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters is a Sacramento based Coffee Roaster and Retailer. Known for choosing producers who are as passionate about growing coffee as we are about Roasting and Brewing.

 A Chocolate Fish is a fish shaped confection indigenous to New Zealand given out as a “Thank You” for a good deed. Founders, Andy and Edie Baker moved from NZ where Andy, the Kiwi, grew up in an espresso culture. Meeting friends over a flat white was a daily occurrence, and he saw the need for that same interaction here in Sacramento. The first of three coffeehouses was created and opened in 2008 in downtown Sacramento.
