ethiopia + colombia + brazil coffee · decaf
by king carlos coffee roasters · sydney, australia
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is killer ninja, specialty coffee blend, a washed ethiopia + colombia + brazil from king carlos coffee roasters.
it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, then shifts toward raisin and a winey quality before finishing with milk chocolate and dark chocolate. the combination gives you brightness up front and a roasty, slightly fruity sweetness on the back end.
it is a blend of beans from ethiopia, colombia, and brazil, all processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and typically produces a cleaner, brighter cup. it is also a decaf coffee.
the medium-dark roast suits espresso well, where the chocolate and winey raisin notes come through most fully. it will also work in a filter brew if you want the lemon and grapefruit character to stand out more clearly.
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.
