Power Nap is Onyx Coffee Lab's answer to coffee drinkers who want flavor without compromise and energy without the jitters. This ingenious half-caf blend marries 50% of Onyx's beloved washed Ethiopia Worka with 50% sugar cane process decaf Colombia Huila, creating a cup that's perfectly balanced in both caffeine content and taste. It's coffee for the afternoon enthusiast, the evening sipper, the anyone who refuses to choose between great flavor and sensible caffeine intake.
The magic here lies in the complementary nature of these two origins. Ethiopia Worka brings its signature floral brightness and stone fruit sweetness, while the decaf Colombia—processed using the innovative sugar cane method—contributes silky body and chocolate depth without the flatness that plagues many decafs. The result tastes like a complete, intentional coffee, not a compromise.
Tasting Notes
Expect ripe peach to greet you on the first sip, followed by creamy cocoa that coats your palate. The body is silky and medium-weight, with a delicate acidity that keeps things lively. The finish lingers with brown sugar sweetness that invites another sip. This is a coffee that tastes indulgent at any hour—morning, mid-afternoon, or thirty minutes before bed when you're reading just one more chapter.
Brew Methods
Power Nap shines across brew methods. As drip coffee or pour over, it showcases its peach and floral notes beautifully. French press amplifies the cocoa and brown sugar sweetness with fuller body. It even pulls surprisingly well as espresso, delivering a sweet, chocolatey shot that plays nicely in milk drinks. The versatility here matches the versatility of when you can drink it.
