Why some details are blank
  • point altitudeThe roaster reports a 1,800–2,000 m range rather than one exact elevation.
  • fermentationThe exact page identifies natural processing but does not disclose fermentation parameters.
  • drying methodThe exact page does not disclose the drying surface or duration.
  • roast levelThe roaster does not publish a conventional roast label; exact-product retailers conflict between light and light-medium.
  • roast dateA retailer-specific September 29 date is not evidence of the roast date for every bag or the roaster's current exact offer.
  • public sentiment ratingNo independently authored exact-release tasting review with a comparable score was found.

From the producer

Dinkalem Ademe grows coffee in Checho village on an estate of roughly 400 hectares, about 40 of them planted in coffee and much of the balance under native Keffa forest. His partnership with the sourcing team dates to 2017, and he is developing an outgrower program for neighbors.

From the roaster

This natural Ethiopian Landrace grows at 1,800–2,000 metres in Keffa’s red-brown clay soil. Rogue Wave describes a fruity, floral cup with lemon, peach, honey and white grape.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The profile ties a current 2026 landrace lot to a clearly identified producer and forest estate. Some Wush Wush trees grow on the farm, but the released Zema lot is documented as Ethiopian Landrace.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Natural process

Rogue Wave identifies the coffee as natural processed but does not disclose fermentation or drying parameters.

02
Exact current offer

Rogue Wave currently lists CA$27 for 340 g and explicitly labels the release sold out.

03
Conflicting secondary availability

Recent catalog and retailer pages report differing stock states. The roaster's exact product and collection pages control this profile's availability; third-party status is retained only as an evidence caveat.

What was added?

Reverified the 2026 lot identity, CA$27 price, 340 g package, brew guidance and sold-out status.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring or selected culture addition is disclosed. Conflicting retailer roast labels and a retailer-specific roast date were not promoted to lot-wide facts.

Why it matters

The release can be classified as a traditional natural, but fermentation, drying, conventional roast level and bag-specific roast date remain unpublished by the roaster.

What you might taste

Rogue Wave lists lemon, peach, honey, white grape and floral notes.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-31) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Beanwired, Coffee Addicts, Eight Ounce, BeanHoard, Revolver and Cherrybook are exact-product catalog or retailer pages rather than qualifying independent tasting reviews. Coffee Addicts and Eight Ounce expose no customer reviews; Coffee Addicts explicitly says its staff has not tried the coffee. Cherrybook's CBI is an evidence-coverage index and its Reddit signal concerns Rogue Wave generally. All were excluded from exact-coffee public sentiment.
