They also include the notes of the coffee, too, which I have to tell you – were spot on. When we started unpacking them, I was impressed to see so much information about the coffee right there on the box. The two coffee blends we were able to try were the infamous Southern Weather in the black box and Tropical Weather in a dusty rose box. Onyx Southern Weather & Tropical Weather:

If you’re lucky enough to live close to a cafe, you’ll see that they’ve cultivated an environment that is warm, welcoming, and coffee obsessed. In addition, every coffee has its on pricing and trade data, so you can see what they paid for it, what it was scored at, who they bought if from and more. Then, they share all of this information on their website for their customers to view, too. First, they travel all over the world to find the best coffee and then maintain super high standards for how their coffees score and taste.Ĭoffee is roasted and shipped every weekday, utilizing solar energy from the roof of their facility and a sample of every roast is tested for quality. Their motto is “never settle for good enough” and you can tell that they never do. They have thought through every detail, including their bag design when crafting their iconic coffee blends and I believe it’s part of why people can’t get enough of it. Onyx was started by Andrew and Jon Allen in Arkansas where they had a vision to bring better coffee to the people with transparency at their core. So, while it was very difficult to keep the Onyx blends in the house long enough to get these pictures (it was love at first sniff), I was able to snag a few and, more importantly, got to taste and experience Onyx for myself and I’m going to share all the deets with you.

Luckily, the good people at Onyx sent me a couple of blends to try and I am very happy to report that the time in transit did not diminish the flavor or freshness of my Onyx Coffee Lab experience. No problem there, except we’ve gotten a little spoiled lately with buying beans from a local roaster or using super ultra concentrated coffee like Jot. They have the most beautiful, boxed coffee ever and the most die-hard loyal customers.īut, considering there isn’t an Onyx anywhere near me (or even in my state), the only way I was going to get my hands on some Onyx coffee was going to be online. I’m a long-time admirer of the Onyx Coffee Lab brand.
