colombia + brazil + papua new guinea coffee
by king carlos coffee roasters · sydney, australia
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is gran mezcla, specialty coffee blend, a honey colombia + brazil + papua new guinea from king carlos coffee roasters.
gran mezcla leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, then moves into caramel, honey, and honeycomb sweetness, finishing with milk chocolate and dark chocolate. the honey process across all three origins ties these layers together with a smooth, fruit-touched sweetness.
the blend draws from three origins, colombia, brazil, and papua new guinea, and all components are honey processed, meaning the beans are dried with some of the fruit mucilage still attached, which adds sweetness and body to the final cup.
at medium-dark roast, gran mezcla suits espresso well, where the body and chocolate notes shine, but it also works as a filter brew if you want the citrus and honey character to come through more clearly. grind fresh and adjust your ratio to taste based on your chosen method.
there's something about weston road that makes you slow down. king carlos coffee roasters sits here like it's been part of hurstville forever, though locals know better. the beans speak first - that sharp crack of a fresh grind, steam rising from cups that actually stay warm in your hands. those 250 google reviews averaging 4.8 stars didn't accumulate by accident. they built them one careful extraction at a time, one conversation about origin and roast profiles, one regular who stops calling it "that place near the station" and starts calling it home. the baristas here know the difference between good and great, and they won't serve you the former. that's why the morning queue forms before opening, why laptop dwellers claim corner tables for hours, why first-time visitors become next-week regulars. no corporate playbook here, just people who respect coffee enough to do it right.
