Killer Ninja

About Killer Ninja Coffee Blend

Espresso-first blend with chocolate weight and a fruit lift.

Killer Ninja is a medium-dark blend of beans from Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia, roasted weekly at our Hurstville roastery in Sydney. Espresso-first design with heavy body and a dried-fruit edge that holds up through milk. For drinkers who want their shot to taste like more than just "coffee."

- Dark chocolate depth and richness

- Dried fruit edge: raisin, prune, fig

- Citrus lift on the finish

Best for Espresso drinkers who want a fruit edge in their shot. Long blacks. Strong milk drinks that need character. Stovetop brewing for fuller-bodied home coffee. Skip if you only drink smooth, mild coffees, this one has opinions.
