For Adventurers & Pitmasters, Not Pretenders

Tellicherry Pepper, Garlic Powder, Cayenne, Rosemary, Smoked Paprika, Sea Salt, Onion Powder.

Coat tri-tip generously and let it sit 30 minutes before it hits the grill. Works the same on chicken, shrimp, or roasted veggies. Use about a tablespoon per pound and season both sides.

“The Hawaiian Black Sea Salt & Coffee Rub is one of the best that I have had on steaks, the flavor does not overpower the meat's natural flavor. The care in creating and blending these spices provides a quality that I have not seen or tasted before.”

Rick T. · Southwest Coffee Bundle

“Really great spice rubs! And no nasty ingredients! I tossed most of my other rubs. Highly recommended.”

Yamo · Ultimate Starter Kit

“Used it for July 4th cookout; everyone raved about it. One took a picture so he'd know what to order.”
