One of our customers stumbled across this gem and made us privy to a taste test comparison of our coffee to Stumptown's.  This came from Wright Eats, a traveling photographer foodies blog that touches on anything that tickles their pallet.  Here's a blurb about what they thought of the coffees...

The result was surprising to all of us: Zoka crushed Stumptown across the board, with zero votes for Stumptown!  Zoka's Sumatra was nutty and its aroma immediately reminded me of a favorite coffee I've had in Europe, whereas the Stumptown Sumatra was too acidic with little aroma.  The Ethiopia brews were distinctly different, with the classic blueberry flavors coming through clearly in Zoka's roast, while Stumptown's offering seemed muted and again too acidic.  The Costa Rica beans were the only ones where everyone agreed the difference was subtle, and yet all votes swayed toward Zoka.
...the rest of the story can be found here.

Yeah, but does Stumptown still sell 16oz bags?

This blog entry is actually what sent us in search of Zoka Coffee.
We were diehard Stumptown drinkers before ordering the Helsar de Zarcero, which we surprisingly (at least to us) preferred over our previous fave, Stumptown's Don Mayo.
We are ordering from Zoka a second time but, unfortunately, the Helsar de Zarcero is not in season. I hope we have as much luck with our current order!
