nicaragua coffee
by rogue wave coffee · edmonton, canada
you'll taste stone fruit before black tea. this is cascara dried coffee cherry - nicaragua - archived, a natural nicaragua from rogue wave coffee.
it tastes like a combination of stone fruit, brown sugar, and black tea, sitting closer to a fruit tisane than a traditional coffee. the overall character is tea-like and relatively light-bodied.
the coffee cherries are grown in nicaragua and processed naturally, meaning the fruit dries intact before the husks are separated and dried for use as cascara. the husk, not the bean, is what you are brewing.
steep the dried husks in hot water as you would a loose-leaf tea, around 90-95°c for 4-6 minutes, adjusting to preference. it is not brewed through an espresso machine or standard coffee dripper.
the thing about rogue wave coffee on 119th street is how they treat each cup like it actually matters. not the performative theater you get at chains, but the real deal. when your barista adjusts the grind mid-shift because they notice something's off, you know you're in good hands. their 4.8 rating from over 550 reviews isn't accident. it's what happens when people find a place that respects coffee as more than caffeine delivery. the beans here get the attention they deserve, roasted with the kind of care that makes regulars drive across edmonton rather than settle for whatever's convenient. you can taste the difference in that first sip. the way the flavors unfold cleanly, without the burnt edges or sour notes that plague so many spots. this is coffee that makes you slow down, notice things. the kind that turns a quick caffeine grab into something worth savoring.
