Abbie's Blend is a medium-roasted blend of two high-quality single-origin coffees. The blend features a light body with above-average acidity that presents upfront with red currant notes. The flavor profile includes sweet cinnamon notes in the middle, transitioning into a long, sweet chocolate finish. This blend was developed in 2010 to provide a medium roast option with complexity.
Founded in 1983 by Mike McLaughlin, a Richmond schoolteacher, alongside Pete and Bob McLaughlin, this family owned roaster began with a repurposed peanut roaster holding just 10 pounds per batch. Based in Emeryville, California, McLaughlin has evolved into a multigenerational operation with Mike's son Mark rejoining the family business after a career in Silicon Valley tech. The company sources and roasts premium coffee beans with the same precision and care it has maintained since its founding, blending traditional values with modern specialty coffee standards.
