Redd: Spring

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
We curated the components for this coffee to create a blend that captures the essence of spring. Bright notes of red fruit are balanced with round chocolate notes to produce exceptionally well balanced and flavorful cups. It is great for use as both espresso and drip coffee. 

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.
