Southern Weather is Onyx Coffee Lab's answer to the perfect everyday blend—a coffee that bridges the gap between modern specialty and timeless comfort. Roasted in Rogers, Arkansas, this blend has earned its place as Onyx's house filter offering, beloved in their own cafes and now available through Clive Coffee. It's the rare coffee that satisfies both the curious newcomer and the seasoned purist, balancing contemporary citric brightness against deep, chocolatey richness.
Tasting Notes
Expect a surprisingly complex cup that leads with gentle citrus acidity—think clementine and Meyer lemon—before transitioning into a full-bodied foundation of milk chocolate and brown sugar. The mouthfeel is round and satisfying without being heavy, with a finish that lingers pleasantly with hints of caramel and toasted almond. This isn't a coffee that shouts; it's one that reveals more with each sip, offering sophistication without pretension.
Brew Methods
Southern Weather shines across the entire brewing spectrum. As a pour over (V60, Chemex, Kalita), it showcases that citrus-chocolate balance with clarity and definition. In a French press or Clever dripper, the body becomes more pronounced, emphasizing the chocolate notes. It's equally at home in drip machines, making it an ideal daily drinker. And while it's designed primarily for filter methods, it's forgiving enough to work in milk-based drinks, where those chocolate notes really bloom alongside steamed dairy or oat milk.
