Onyx Coffee - Monarch

Monarch sits as an expressive dark roast. It is a more developed roast of Ethiopia and Colombian coffees. Think of Monarch as the darker side to Southern Weather or Geometry, less acidity but more caramel, bitter chocolate, a little molasses.

Monarch is the ideal roast for those who drink milk based drinks, it sits a fantastic base for a flat white, or cappuccino. In filter, expect a little more bite and body.

What is the roast recency?

Onyx recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
