Southern Weather

Roast: Medium-Dark

Origin: Colombia and Ethiopia

Process: Washed

Varietal: Various

Southern Weather was Onyx’s first ever blend and it’s been a foundational offering ever since: comforting, approachable, and versatile with or without milk. The blend’s composition changes with the seasons to hit Onyx’s flavor profile, presently combining sweet caramelized notes from a washed Colombian coffee and bright citrus notes from Ethiopia Chelbesa Washed. We tasted milk chocolate, prune, sugar, and green grape, with a juicy green grape acidity and a punchy body.
