From the producer

Esayas Beriso left his government position in 2009 to work full-time in coffee. The family operation includes his own farm, while his wife Meskerem manages harvesting and cherry purchasing from neighboring farms.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery dedicated to sourcing and roasting complex, dynamic coffees while fostering long-term relationships throughout the supply chain.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A 2,350 m single-estate separation with unusually detailed sorting, density grading, post-fermentation soaking, thin-layer drying, and final hand sorting.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and hand sorting

Cherry was harvested at peak ripeness and hand-sorted before de-pulping.

02
Fermentation and grading

Coffee was wet-fermented for up to 72 hours, washed in channels, and density graded to retain the denser seeds.

03
Soaking and drying

Coffee soaked for two hours, dried in two-centimeter layers for ten days, and was hand-sorted again.

What was added?

Water was used for wet fermentation, channel washing, grading, and the post-fermentation soak.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring, or inoculated culture is disclosed.

Why it matters

The repeated sorting and density separation narrow the lot to denser seeds, while controlled thin-layer drying supports even moisture loss.

What you might taste

Sweet peach tea, ripe raspberry, and nectarine.

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.
