Why some details are blank
  • altitude mSEY gives a 1,900–2,210 m growing range; the single-number field cannot represent it without inventing a midpoint.
  • individual producersWorasa and Daniel Mijane operate the station, but the contributing growers for this exact lot are not individually named.
  • roast levelSEY does not publish a conventional roast label; Spro's catalog scale was not converted.
  • roast dateNo bag-specific SEY roast date was found.
  • public sentiment ratingThe exact Spro listing has no reviews and no other qualifying independent exact-release rating was found.

From the producer

Worasa Mijane and his son Daniel are from Gedeb. Worasa began processing coffee at Worka Sakaro in the early 2000s; they established the Halo Hartume washing station in 2013.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery focused on sourcing and roasting seasonal coffees that highlight the unique characteristics of their origin and the efforts of their producing partners.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This was SEY’s first white honey-processed lot with Halo Hartume, extending its work with the Gedeb station beyond washed coffee.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Cherry selection

Ripe cherries were hand-picked and floated to remove defects.

02
Short fermentation

The coffee was depulped and fermented immediately for 12 hours.

03
White-honey drying

It dried on raised beds for 10–14 days with a small amount of mucilage intact.

What was added?

No fruit, spices or external flavoring agents are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

White honey refers to mucilage retained during drying, not honey or another sweetener added to the coffee.

Why it matters

The method distinguishes this lot from Halo Hartume’s washed releases while remaining a traditional coffee process.

What you might taste

SEY lists yellow peach, berries, honeysuckle and lemon.

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 2026-10-07) 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

Spro’s exact-coffee page lists the lot but explicitly shows no reviews; other exact catalog and retailer pages did not provide an independent score. None were converted into sentiment.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
