A River Runs Through It

Black Oak Coffee has proudly partnered with Russian Riverkeeper to create Redd, using our coffee to solidify a commitment to improving the health of local watersheds. 

Every bag of Redd Seasonal Coffee purchased will send 10% of profit to fund Russian Riverkeeper’s work of protecting the river that connects our cafes and communities.

Redd Tasting Notes
A special blend of floral washed-process Ethiopian Coffee and a round, full-bodied South American coffee. Roasted to create a balanced blend and perfect for espresso or traditional brewing. Redd Spring embodies the unique flavor and joy of the season. 

Our Choice for In-House Espresso
The name Redd is a tribute to the salmon of the Russian River that connects both of Black Oak’s cafes as well as Mendocino and Sonoma county. This blend is used for espresso in both of our cafes. The composition of the blend is updated seasonally. This allows us to seamlessly transition between the most freshly harvested green coffee, while capturing the essence of the seasons.

Redd is carefully crafted to have the exceptional balance necessary to produce extraordinary cups of light espresso while maintaining a nuanced flavor that helps enhance the joys that are unique to the changing seasons.

Brew Notes
We recommend starting with a 1:16 brew ratio. Using less water will add to the body of the cup and concentrate the heavier chocolate notes. 205°F water works well for Redd:Winter

Roast Level: Medium/Light
