It starts with traveling to find the absolute best coffees. Years ago we started telling each other to “Never Settle for Good Enough.” It felt perhaps like a piece of branding or a slogan, but over the years this mentality has developed into a mantra of its own that permeates every thing that we do at Onyx. #ONYX COFFEE BRANDING CODE#Enjoy 1% off with discount code "edumicate" Good job making it to the end of the ticker.

Personally, I love this coffee and while it wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice every morning, it is a brilliant example of what an acid-forward, citrusy coffee can be.FREE shipping for orders over $40 TRENDING COFFEE:Ĭold Brew Colombia Robinson Figueroa Pink Bourbon Costa Rica Las Lajas Natural Rwanda Kanzu Colombia La Palma Alvaro Rodriguez Colombia Tolima Forest Grape Co-Ferment Burundi Long Miles Gaharo Hill ONYX IS MY PALįREE shipping for orders over $40 THE ROASTERY: It was quite striking, actually, and it would be a great coffee to calibrate your palate to understand what an example of an acidic and grapefruit citrus coffee would taste like! There’s no mistaking this one!īecause of this I would fathom a guess that there are a good number of coffee drinkers who wouldn’t love this coffee, just like a lot of beer drinkers don’t appreciate a hoppy IPA. But, really, this coffee was just hugely acidic, bracingly so, with giant grapefruit flavors. While this grapefruit pith flavor dominated the cup, as it cooled I picked up occasional savory notes not unlike tomato, which I have found in other coffees ( Tanager’s Zelele from Yirgacheffe), as strange as it sounds. Specifically I was getting a lot of the grapefruit pith (the white stuff inside the grapefruit peel) flavors and it was accompanied by a drying sensation on my palate that the coffee created (kind of like my tastebuds were tightening). In the cup with regular sips this coffee was a massive grapefruit bomb, which is what made me immediately associate it with West Coast IPA beers. Kenyan coffees are famous for their bright acidity and this one from Onyx is one of the brightest of the bright! Slurping from my cupping spoon I got an interesting note like unsweetened cherry cola. If you’re interested in my parameters, there is a link under the KCcoffeegeek logo at the top of the page. I found all the same flavors from a cup I made by AeroPress, but noticeably toned down. My first cups of this coffee was from the notNeutral Gino pourover dripper, which is a lot like a Kalita Wave. A lot of hops varieties carry huge citrus, especially grapefruit, flavors and that’s what I found with this coffee. If you’re a hop-head, then the more hops the better, but if you’re not really into hops as a flavor, you’re like my wife and you just think these beers are gross. My first impression of this coffee was, “This is the West Coast IPA of coffee.” For those who aren’t beer drinkers, India Pale Ale (IPA) is a style of beer known for its hop-forward flavors, and no one adds more hops to these beers than the brewers of California, Oregon and Washington. This is a really, really interesting coffee but I’m going to preface my review by telling you that it isn’t for everyone. Onyx is not an advertiser nor is this a paid review (nor are any others on this site). Enjoy! You can buy this coffee for $19 per bag direct from Onyx.ĭisclaimer: This coffee was provided as a complimentary review sample to from Onyx Coffee Lab. You can imagine, then, that the first time I saw Onyx Coffee Lab’s branding it was love at first site! I was finally able to obtain some coffee samples from Onyx and what’s inside is as interesting as what’s outside! This review of Onyx’s Ndaroini coffee from Kenya is the first of many that will be appearing on in the coming weeks. If you follow my Instagram (you should!) or have been reading this blog (you should do that, too!) for a while, you know what a sucker for packaging I am.
