santa monica is a colombian honey-process coffee from king carlos coffee roasters, built on pink bourbon and bourbon varietals, roasted to a medium level. honey processing leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which pushes sweetness forward, here showing up as honeycomb and milk chocolate alongside brighter citrus notes like lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest. floral jasmine and tropical fruit round out the cup. the medium roast keeps acidity intact while preserving body, making it well-suited to pour-over or filter brewing where the layered citrus and floral character can open up cleanly.
common questions
What does SANTA MONICA | PINK BOURBON HONEY taste like?
expect a cup that leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, supported by tropical fruit and jasmine florals, then settles into honeycomb and milk chocolate sweetness. the honey process ties the brightness and sweetness together rather than letting either dominate.
How is SANTA MONICA | PINK BOURBON HONEY grown and processed?
it's a colombian coffee grown from pink bourbon and bourbon varietals and handled using a honey process, meaning the cherry skin is removed but some of the sticky fruit mucilage is left on the bean while it dries, adding sweetness and body to the final cup.
How should I brew SANTA MONICA | PINK BOURBON HONEY?
the medium roast and layered tasting profile, citrus, floral, and chocolate, suit filter methods like pour-over or drip, which give clarity to those distinct flavors. avoid very high brew temperatures that can sharpen acidity at the expense of the honeycomb and chocolate sweetness.
about king carlos coffee roasters
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.
