While most of their coffees thrive on the lighter side of roasting, there is a culture dedicated to the dark side. The traditional European style of coffee is still prevalent in many parts of the world and they honor this by crafting Eclipse—their most developed offering. The origin will change with seasonality but remains darker than a Darren Aronofsky movie at midnight.

Dark roast. One of the few coffees that can be placed squarely within a roast level, Eclipse is dark enough to block out the sun...Or perhaps just the acidity prevalent in most modern roasts. This coffee is traditionally roasted just past peak sweetness to curb any acidity, while the long development creates a heavy body and deeply toasted sugars. Reminiscent of the dark and syrupy European coffees that you slammed back during your study abroad program, Eclipse pairs well with dairy when prepared as a filter or espresso. While the terroir of the coffee takes a backseat to the roast level, Onyx still applies their stringent sourcing standards to Eclipse. They blind cup through hundreds of coffees and select coffees from Latin America that they believe will stand up to the heavy development of a traditional roast while still maintaining sweetness. 100% Arabica beans.
