Eclipse takes the crown as the most traditional roast Onyx has to offer. Expect a dark roast with classic bitter sugar, almost burnt caramel notes. Acidity takes a back seat as more developed sweetness takes the front row. Like Monarch, Eclipse gives a great basis for milk based drinks, or a french press for those who long for a robust cup with a full bodied experience in the mouth. Perfect for that morning pick-me-up. Think European, think classic Italian roast, but with the Onyx flair. 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.
