VUXO / Coffee no. 02
Obsidian is the long cup.
A rich, composed blend for the slow morning pour — dark Colombian depth held against medium Brazilian sweetness.
Why Obsidian exists
What does a long, unhurried cup need?
Rich without turning harsh. Deep without becoming heavy.
We wanted a coffee for the plunger left to settle, the filter dripping while the morning slows down.
A single roast couldn’t do both, so we stopped asking one bean to do everything.
The roast architecture
Two roasts, held in tension.
One brings the depth. One brings the balance. Together they make the cup feel composed.
The balance
Medium roast · roundedNatural sweetness and softness that smooths the darkness, rounds the finish and keeps the richness easy.
The considered details
Depth, without the weight.
Obsidian is built for ease — a cup that stays rich, smooth and present from the first sip to the last.
Contrast creates balance.
Two origins, each roasted to its own level. The dark Colombian brings the depth; the medium Brazilian brings the balance.
Rich, never harsh.
Together they land at a considered medium-dark that stays composed and smooth from the first pour to the last sip.
At the table.
Shortbread for the butter. A dense chocolate brownie for the cocoa. A warm cinnamon roll for the spice.
Composition
Two origins. One clear finish.
Obsidian keeps just two beans and lets the contrast between them do the work.
Colombia
Dark roast / bittersweet backboneA weighty, polished base that gives the blend its substance without tipping into ash or bite.
Brazil
Medium roast / rounded sweetnessA smooth, mellow layer that keeps the darkness generous, soft and easy to return to.
