Roaster Spotlight: Stumptown & Flat Track

We wouldn't be who we are without the dedication of coffee roasters around the world who've turned today's decaffeinated coffees into the true works of art. We celebrate our partnerships with the high-caliber roasters that know decaf coffee is more than an afterthought on the menu, but a selection to treat with just as much care and respect as caffeinated coffee.

We're taking the time once again to introduce you to two more great specialty coffee coffee roasters: Stumptown and Flat Track, coffee companies whose expertise at sourcing, roasting, and brewing coffee are among the best of the best. We're proud to have the opportunity to decaffeinate their coffee, and be a part of a quality-focused supply chain for these coffee roasters.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

Stumptown is one of the country's best-known specialty coffee roasters, having kicked off their brand in Portland, Oregon, all the way back in 1999. Today, the company boasts cafes and roasteries on both American coasts—in their hometown of Portland, as well as Los Angeles, New York City—and Kyoto, Japan.

Stumptown's Trapper Creek Decaf is a season-spanning blend with notes of dried fruit and graham cracker. Jessica Brooks, Stumptown's Director of Green Coffee Sourcing, says:  

“Decaf drinkers shouldn't have to trade flavor for caffeine-free. The Swiss Water® Process maintains the inherent and carefully balanced flavors of our coffees in a natural way that is better for the health of humans and the planet.” We'll cheers to that!

Flat Track Coffee Roasters

From beginnings as a pop-up cafe inside bookstores and skate shops, Austin, Texas roaster Flat Track Coffee Roasters has been on the move for nearly ten years. They operate their own, "moto-themed" roastery-cafe space nowadays, and their chemical-free decaf of choice? Swiss Water Brazil.

Flat Track says: "The best tasting decafs out there are always Swiss Water processed. We want our customers who enjoy decaf to enjoy the best quality."

Flat Track's Brazil decaf has notes of cherry, butterscotch, and cola—a beautiful option at any time of day (or night!)

Thanks again to the dedicated folks at both companies who have continued to elevate the craft of delicious, chemical-free decaf.
