Process: Washed and Natural
Varietal: Various
Got milk? This coffee is intentionally designed to work with milk, cream, and plant-based beverages. The blend of Ethiopian and Colombian coffees is a little darker than the typical coffees we offer here, and Onyx’s roast brings out complex caramelized notes. We tasted a slab of rich dark chocolate studded with dried berries. Expect a thick mouthfeel and a molasses-like sweetness. Best brewed as espresso or filter.

Espresso Recipe
Dose: 19 g
Yield: 55 g
Brew Time: 25 seconds 55g is large for an espresso but there’s so much soluble material in this coffee that you’re able to extract a larger volume and it should have a fairly thick crema.
Special Notes: We love using Monarch in our large lattes at our cafes, as its sweetness carries well through milk: the dark chocolate notes turn to milk chocolate notes, and the molasses notes turn to caramel!
