From the producer

Neguesse Debela opened his first site in Worka Chelbessa in 2017 and acquired the nearby Danche washing station in 2019.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing and roasting dynamic, complex coffees through long-term supply chain relationships. They are recognized for their light roast profiles that highlight the inherent characteristics of the origin.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A clean washed lot from a long-running SEY relationship with Danche, with the exact 2025 harvest, process, and cup notes restored after 2026-release details had been mixed into the page.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and sorting

Cherry was hand-picked at peak ripeness, floated, de-pulped, and density separated as Grade 1.

02
Fermentation

Coffee was fermented underwater for 36 hours.

03
Drying

The washed coffee 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 emphasizes clarity and the lot’s tea-like, melon, peach, and citrus character.

What you might taste

Earl Grey tea, watermelon, peach, and lively citrus acidity.

What we found

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
