OUR LONGEST-STANDING BLEND
Red Sea Blend has remained a Fresh Roast Daily favorite for decades because it delivers exceptional character across roast levels and brewing methods.
We first sold Red Sea Blend at our retail store on College Avenue in Oakland, California, during the 1980s.
Roasting styles were darker then, but the blend’s high-altitude coffees retained their fruit character even when pushed into deeper development.
Today, the same blend offers two compelling expressions: rich roasted fruit at darker roast levels and vivid ripe berries when roasted lighter.
TWO SHORES, ONE BLEND
Two of coffee’s most historic origins, facing one another across the Red Sea.
EAST AFRICA
Bright fruit, floral complexity, and expressive dry-processed coffees that give Red Sea Blend lift and vibrancy.
ARABIAN PENINSULA
Deep, rustic fruit character with layered sweetness and distinctive intensity that anchors the blend.
INSIDE THE CUP
Roast it darker for depth and roasted fruit, or lighter for ripe berries and a brighter finish.
Red Sea Blend combines the lively fruit character of Ethiopian coffee with the deeper, rustic sweetness associated with Yemeni lots.
Its high-grown components retain their character even during deeper roast development, giving the blend impressive range.
Bright and ripe at lighter roast levels
Pronounced during darker development
Layered and lasting across brew styles
Structured enough for espresso and milk
ROAST IT YOUR WAY
Red Sea Blend rewards both darker and lighter roasting without losing the personality of its component coffees.
01
Push into second crack for pronounced roasted fruit, deeper sweetness, fuller body, and a bold finish.
02
Keep the roast lighter for bright acidity, ripe red fruits, berries, and a more transparent expression of origin.
MADE FOR EVERY RITUAL
Few coffees feel equally at home in French Press, pour-over, and espresso. Red Sea Blend is one of them.

Rich body, deep fruit, and satisfying texture that highlights the blend’s warmth and weight.
