Onyx Coffee Lab Coffee Advent Calendar (#014)

About Onyx Coffee Lab RoastersKnown as one of North America's leading roasters, Onyx Coffee Lab roast some the best specialty coffees in the world. Named 2020's champions of the US Brewers Cup and US Barista Championship, and placing second at the US Brewers Cup Championship, there really isn't much with speciality coffee that Onyx Coffee Lab can't do.

The story began years ago when they started telling each other to “Never Settle for Good Enough.” It perhaps felt more like a piece of branding or a slogan, but over the years this mentality has developed into a mantra of its own that permeates everything that they do at Onyx Coffee Lab.

ShippingOnyx Coffee Lab are planning to begin shipping their Advent Calendars to GUSTATORY mid November, and this should give plenty of time for delivery by GUSTATORY on or just before December 1st.

Rest Period Onyx Coffee Lab are purposefully roasting each offering on a schedule that goes with the advent to allow 28 days of de-gassing before consuming. This should allow enough rest in the coffee to allow free carbon dioxide to leave the pores of the coffee creating even particle size when grinding and therefore a great extraction. Each bag will have some oxygen inside, but not enough or time contact to oxidize.
