Grammy-winning DJ and producer Zedd is toasting the one-year anniversary of his acclaimed album Telos with a brand-new collaboration that blends music and flavor. Partnering with Onyx Coffee Lab, the electronic music icon has unveiled a limited-edition roast that embodies the emotional depth and artistry of his Grammy-nominated project.
ZEDD + ONYX: Coffee Meets Creativity
The exclusive roast, titled ZEDD + ONYX, is sourced from El Salvador’s renowned grower Jorge Raul Rivera. Known for his high-quality single-origin beans, Rivera’s coffee provided the perfect foundation for a blend that echoes the layered complexity of Telos.
According to Onyx Coffee Lab, the roast delivers “depth, complexity, and nuance”, mirroring the sonic journey Zedd crafted on his album. Coffee lovers can expect tasting notes of raisin, black tea, rose, and cara cara orange, a profile as dynamic and unique as Zedd’s music.
The Legacy of Telos
Released in 2024, Telos marked Zedd’s return to full-length albums after nearly a decade-long hiatus. The record was celebrated for its bold orchestral flourishes, cinematic production, and collaborations with artists like John Mayer and Remi Wolf.
The album’s emotional range and innovation earned it a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album, cementing Zedd’s position as one of the most versatile and forward-thinking artists in the electronic music world.
In his own words, Zedd described Telos as a career-defining milestone:
“What I’ve always dreamed of doing is creating an album that I genuinely believe 30 years from today, I will look back on and be incredibly proud of. [With Telos], I accomplished just that.”

Fans can now purchase ZEDD + ONYX online for $32 per 10-ounce bag, making it both a collector’s item and a way to savor Zedd’s artistry in a whole new form.
