Roasted by Onyx Coffee Lab
Southern Weather is a foundational blend that balances modern citric acidity with full bodied chocolates for a sophisticated, approachable coffee.

From the roaster
Southern Weather embodies everything we love about specialty coffee and has evolved into a foundational blend. We brew this in our own cafes as a “House” filter option and love how it balances the relationship between modern citric acidity flavors with full bodied chocolates. This comfortable, yet surprisingly complex and sophisticated coffee is approachable to all. It performs well on its own for the purist or with fats such as dairy or plant based beverages, making it a true answer for all coffee needs.

Context
Southern Weather - Cafes Only, produced by Onyx Coffee Lab, represents a foundational approach to specialty coffee blending. As a washed-process coffee, it highlights the inherent characteristics of the bean, as the processing methods typically emphasize clarity and clean acidity. In the cup, this selection is defined by a profile of citric acidity balanced by deep, resonant chocolates.
When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between bright, fruit-forward acidity and the grounding sweetness of cocoa-toned notes. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their crisp, consistent finish, the specific interplay of citrus and chocolate in this blend offers a versatile experience suitable for various brewing methods. By focusing on these core elements, the roaster provides a structured, approachable cup that remains a staple for those who appreciate a clean, well-defined flavor profile.
