RED SEA BLEND
Our Red Sea Blend is intense and bold. It is dry on the palate, full bodied, and low in acidity. The dark chocolate bitterness pops at the beginning of the cup, followed by smokey rosemary notes and dry mouthfeel. That dryness continues into the long, smokey finish, where a touch of blackberry sweetness appears to slightly balance out the boldness.
Roast Color: Dark
Cupping Notes: Dark Chocolate, Blackberry, Rosemary

Customer Reviews
This is our new favorite!
I wish I had ordered more than the 12 oz size.
(Don't worry Espresso Maximo, you'll still make it into our cart.)
If you are a dark roast coffee person you'll be happy. It deserves the praise other reviewers give it. It is indeed a "knockout favorite", "perfect morning coffee", "worth shipping home". My search for a good cup of coffee stopped when I tasted this at home. I've been drinking Red Sea Blend for many years and am still enjoying every cup.
This is a rich, complex roast, perfect for my morning coffee.
The only coffee I've ever found that made me love coffee more was Freed Teller & Freed's French Roast. Je ne parle pas terroir or anything like that but the subtle flavors in this very dark, very strong-flavored brew make it my current favorite. Every time I order a bag, I add a bag of another of McLaughlin's dark roasts, but haven't found anything as flavorful yet.
This is a dense, dark coffee, but remarkably well balanced and not heavy in the least bit. It has an incredibly unique terroir. And, it grinds up drier than most coffees. It's a knockout favorite!!
I first had this blend at Cole Coffee in Berkeley. It quickly became my favorite. Many years Later and a few towns away, I’m still ordering and having shipped home more frequently than any other coffee.
