Pour Over Brew Guide

By Natalie Gitt

Never settle for good enough. That’s the mantra at Onyx Coffee Lab, a small-batch roastery and set of cafes based in Arkansas, USA. Producing high quality, sustainably sourced coffee with a focus on transparency and traceability while cultivating close relationships with their producers, we knew they were the perfect fit for our first-ever coffee collaboration. Together, we created Eternal Sunday Coffee, a whole bean blend that’s smooth and balanced with a bright, citrusy finish.

The Process

A considered approach to creating blends is what sets Onyx Coffee Lab apart. Instead of simply pairing beans based on certain countries or regions, their process begins with a specific flavor profile in mind. For Eternal Sunday Coffee, that meant an approachable chocolate and caramelized sugar base balanced with the brightness of orange zest.

To find these specific attributes, they tasted countless coffees before landing on Colombian beans for nutty chocolate notes, and Ethiopian beans to add acidity and a slight bitterness from citrus. The resulting whole bean blend makes for a beautiful brew on its own, and also pairs well with dairy or plant-based milks. Comforting yet sophisticated, it's a true crowd pleaser.

“At Onyx, we cultivate what we call relationship coffees. This just means that we have visited the farm and contracted the coffee directly with the producer. For us, this brings value—not just in the quality of coffee that we receive, but in the long-term relationship that it builds with our producing partners.”

— Andrea Allen, co-founder of Onyx Coffee Lab
