The Stan Lee Foundation worked with Onyx Coffee Lab to create the first-ever signature coffee blend to honor Stan Lee, the revered comic book creator. In addition to having a passion for comic books, Stan Lee was said to have a love of coffee, and Onyx Coffee Lab coffee in particular.
The exclusive collaboration coffee, the Stan Lee Foundation x Onyx Coffee Signature Blend, is said to have berry, baker's chocolate, raw honey and sweet tea notes, which reflects Onyx Coffee Lab's flavor-first approach to coffee. According to Onyx Coffee Lab, "For the Stan Lee Signature Blend, we decided we would aim for those flavors that most represented what he enjoyed in a cup of joe."
All purchases of the Ethiopian and Colombian coffee blend help to support the Stan Lee Foundation.
