ethiopia + colombia + panama coffee
by rogue wave coffee · edmonton, canada
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is secret shop, an anaerobic ethiopia + colombia + panama from rogue wave coffee.
secret shop is fruit-forward and floral, with lemon, grapefruit, blueberry, peach, and stone fruit alongside jasmine, hibiscus, and a black tea quality. sweetness comes through as caramel, honey, honeycomb, and milk chocolate, with a winey depth from the anaerobic process.
the blend combines beans from ethiopia, colombia, and panama, using caturra, pink bourbon, bourbon, and typica varietals. all lots are anaerobically processed, a method that intensifies fruit and winey characteristics in the cup.
filter or pour-over brewing will highlight the floral and layered fruit notes, while espresso will pull more caramel, chocolate, and almond character from the blend. the anaerobic processing means grind fresh and keep brew temperatures moderate to avoid amplifying any sharp fermented edges.
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.
