About 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.

Coffee InformationExperience coffee like never before. This holiday season, join a global community of thousands of coffee lovers in walking through a carefully curated holiday coffee calendar, featuring a sweeping range of origins, varieties, and processing methods that reveal the rich tapestry of coffee flavours.

24 unique coffees. Starting December 1st, journey with Onyx Coffee Lab through 24 bags of whole bean coffee. Each of the 12 slots has 2 bags of 2oz (52g) of coffee wholebeans, with one side of the box providing for days 1-12 and then days 13-24 on the reverse side. With 24 days of 2oz (52g), Onyx Coffee Lab provide a total of 1.25Kg of coffee beans for you to enjoy. Each bag features a coffee of a different origin, producer, and terroir, inviting you to discover all that contributes to the unique flavours of each cup.

Curated to delight. With offerings carefully curated to spotlight different origins, processing methods, and flavours, our Advent Calendar is designed to provide a holistic coffee experience. It's an opportunity to savour the diversity and intricacies that coffee has to offer, all from the comfort of your home.

Embrace discovery. More than just a delightful holiday ritual, this is a journey of enrichment.

ProcessWill vary by coffee

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.

Estimated cost savings for this special guest coffee:

Roaster RRP £145.00

Shipping £17.00

Customs £14.00

Stories Special Guest Coffees

Top 1% Of Speciality Coffees, Delivered 'Competition', 'Limited Edition', 'Micro-lots', 'Premium Variety', all are words used to describe the very best of speciality coffees, and through GUSTATORY Stories you are able to try the world's very best top 1% of speciality coffees. Whilst GUSTATORY's speciality coffee subscriptions consistently deliver the very top 5% of the world's best quality coffees, our limited edition Stories go one further and offers a coffee tasting experience with one-off special guest coffees. How It Works Given the nature of GUSTATORY Stories, each special guest coffee curation will vary in retail price depending on many coffee related factors, varying between £20-100 RRP. Due to this fluctuation between each coffee feature, every curation is made available by special announcement(s) throughout the month(s), each with a limited timeframe to purchase. No subscription, only limited one-off purchases. Limited Edition & Price Savings Each curated special guest coffee will be available in limited quantities with a limited cap on customer numbers. Similar to a GUSTATORY coffee subscription, each curation will also provide you with savings on the RRP as well as extra savings by way of us paying the high costs of international shipping and import duties that you'd otherwise pay if shopping direct (when the speciality roasters are international). Coffee Tasting Experience Booklets Complementing each, we also provide all accompanying media and information leaflets as supplied by the speciality roaster, if any, as well as a GUSTATORY Stories coffee tasting experience booklet that you may use many times over to make record of your brewing techniques, opinions on taste(s) and overall results. Experiment with your brewing and see if your coffee tasting experience changes over time. Rest Period We always recommend that coffees are 'rested' between their roast date and first consumption to allow the coffee to 'degas', making brewing easier and your cup tastier. Such a 'rest period' will take place during your coffee's journey from it's speciality roaster to you, and so, whether our curated special guest coffee roaster is located in London, Edinburgh, Budapest or Copenhagen, even New York or California, your delivered coffee will be ready to be enjoyed.

Shipping & Costs

Fulfilled By GUSTATORY All GUSTATORY Stories are fulfilled by us upon receipt of the special guest coffees arriving from the speciality roaster. If you're an existing subscriber to GUSTATORY's coffee subscriptions, your coffees will be consolidated.

Quick UK & International Shipping All UK deliveries are sent via Royal Mail with 99% of deliveries arriving within 48 hours, many even 24 hours (postcode depending). Shipping to Europe starts from £7.00, Rest of World: £10.00. Custom fees may apply at the time of import to your destination country, but many countries do have customs-free value thresholds on parcels sent from UK (for example, Australia / USA) and our subscriptions may easily fall under these. Please do check with your local customs.

A home-brewed quality coffee is far less expensive than cafes

Issue: With the continuing economic uncertainty that COVID and the cost-of-living crisis brings, many are tightening the purse strings and choosing cheaper alternatives. However...For more: Comunicaffe International

...Whilst the purse strings may need to tighten, a better quality home-brewed coffee or tea is still far less expensive than buying individual drinks on the go. Over the last few years, many have taken the opportunity to improve their home brewing skills, and now with the equipment and know-how to recreate that authentic coffee shop experience from home, are enjoying cheaper quality coffees. With cafe coffees costing anything from £2.50-4.00 each, and with a bag of 250g quality coffee costing between £7.00-12.50 and providing you with enough to achieve up to 15-35 brews per bag (depending on brew method and strength preferences), the savings and better quality coffee are both there to be enjoyed.

If this isn't you, there really is no better time to start, and better yet, at GUSTATORY you’ll find plenty of affordable coffee subscription packages. It also won't be long until you discover a new favourite. All coffees are roasted fresh for us as part of our monthly subscription delivery schedules.
