From the producer

SEY identifies Duwancho as a washing-station lot and states that it hopes eventually to offer single-producer separations from the area. The exact 2025 page does not name an individual producer.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing dynamic, high-quality coffees through transparent and progressive supply chain relationships. They prioritize highlighting the unique terroir of their producing partners through precise, light-handed roasting.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A very high-elevation Arbegona washing-station lot from a region SEY has followed for several years. The exact page supports the station and community model, not the previously linked generic Peruvian producer profile.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and sorting

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

02
Pulping and grading

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

03
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 emphasizes clarity in this dense, high-elevation lot.

What you might taste

Watermelon, honeydew, and jasmine.
