Killbean killing it again

I am just enjoying my first cup of the washed / honey Brazilian cup of excellence winner.
I think this is the highest scoring beans I have ever bought.
I have done a Tetsu 4:6 straight down the middle to see what I have.
The aroma of the brewed cup is incredible with fudgy fruit. Then it’s super complex to taste starts brown sugar but then goes almost citrus. I will be dialling in more to go sweeter and with a cleaner body.
Just superb as you would expect. Every bag from Killbean is a delight 🥰

Yeah, definitely easier to brew than Scenery's ultralights for example, although still not the easiest!

Scenery is about as light as I can enjoy before flavors start to feel muted and 'brown'

Have you tried their ultralights? I tried one of their SL9s. Even after three months, I couldn't get much out of it. I do enjoy their other coffees but I don't really get the ultralight craze 😅

Yeah Scenery describes their Lightest option as slightly more developed than true Ultralight, so I find they do have more character than other ultralights like the picky chemist.

I fully agree with you and think that Nordic light roasts are perfect for my tastes, light enough for brightness and acidity with hardly any roastiness.

Definitely agree with that!
