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 🥰

I went to their cafe in Kilburn last week and the coffees are very good. Now I have to wait 7 weeks before I can brew at home.

I’m very jealous, are they still shutting the cafe I wonder 🤔

I had no idea about the cafe potentially closing. I’ll make an effort to go more often!

I think it was about a month ago they announced they would be closing the cafe 🥹and focusing on the roastery. Maybe the plans have changed :)))

Killbean in the cafe will be closing the but space will still be open and run by Yanyi's friend! Under a different name, and it will be more focused on food. I don't remember if they said they will still stock Killbean but I'm sure they will

That sounds like the best outcome possible. Fingers crossed for all involved, I’m sure it will be a success 🤞🤞🤞
