Monarch - Cafes Only

Monarch is our most developed roast that conveys a flavor profile that we intentionally designed to work well with milk. Cream and plant based beverages mix with ease, creating a rich, decadent flavor. It involves a natural, sugar-dense coffee that binds to the fats and creates multiple complex caramelized notes during the roasting process. Look for dark chocolate and undertones of thick winey berries. Enjoy as drip or espresso.

Monarch - Cafes Only, a signature blend from Onyx Coffee Lab, represents a deliberate approach to balancing origin characteristics from Colombia and Ethiopia. By utilizing the washed processing method, the roaster emphasizes a clean, structured profile that allows the inherent qualities of the beans to remain the primary focus. This specific blend is crafted to deliver a dense, indulgent experience, characterized by deep notes of dark chocolate and thick, winey berries.

When evaluating such complex profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between the cocoa-forward base and the vibrant fruit acidity. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clarity and bright acidity, the specific composition of Monarch aims for a heavier, more resonant mouthfeel. This selection serves as a testament to the roaster's commitment to consistency and depth, providing a reliable, full-bodied cup designed specifically for professional cafe environments.
