From the producer

Around 600 smallholder producers in the Bochessa community contributed cherry. Many farms are extremely small, sometimes only a few trees in backyard plots.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing and roasting complex, dynamic coffees through transparent and long-term supply chain relationships.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY’s first selection from the Bochessa community documents a high-elevation, traditional washed lot from Arbegona without inventing a named farm or station.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Harvest and sorting

Cherry was hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove defects.

Pulping and grading

Coffee was de-pulped and separated by density as Grade 1.

Fermentation and drying

Coffee was fermented underwater for 36 hours, then dried on raised beds for 10–14 days.

What was added?

Water was used for flotation and underwater fermentation.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring, or inoculated culture is disclosed.

Why it matters

The traditional washed process is designed for clarity and a clean presentation of the lot’s peach, herbal, and tea-like character.

What you might taste

Peach, lemon verbena, and white tea.
