Narsai's Blend is a dark roast coffee with a rich, bold character and velvety body. Created in collaboration with Chef Narsai David in the late 1980s, this complex blend combines coffees from three different regions of the world. The coffee features cocoa and spicy black pepper flavors balanced with molasses and a subtle tobacco finish.
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.
