In contrast, the Southern Weather blend has notes of milk chocolate, plum, and candied walnuts and you can actually catch each of these when you smell and taste it. This coffee uses seasonal micro-lots to recreate the same flavor profile year round. One is naturally dried, resulting in the fruit forward flavor and the other is washed and fermented, which creates the light floral characteristics. The box also shares that the blend is composed of two coffees from Ethiopia. The Tropical Weather blend, for instance, has notes of mixed berries and you can absolutely smell and taste this in the coffee. ![]() ![]() ![]() These Onyx blends had very clear notes when you smelled them. We drink a lot of coffee around here and while we can smell and taste subtle differences in coffee, especially freshly roasted coffee, it’s not always a super distinct difference. 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.

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.

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.
