Why some details are blank

altitude mSEY publishes a 2,300–2,450 m range; the single-number field cannot represent it without inventing a midpoint.
producer idSEY credits unnamed contributing producers and exporter Elto; no individual producer identity is established.
fermentationSEY documents heavy mucilage retention and staged drying but does not disclose a separate fermentation duration or vessel.
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 narrativeThe independent exact-coffee source supplies a numeric 4/6 score but no written critique.

From the producer

SEY credits unnamed contributing producers and Elto as the exporting partner for this exact lot. Daye Bensa is not assigned as the producer because that relationship is not stated on SEY's lot page.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on transparent sourcing and precise, light roast profiles that highlight the inherent qualities of the coffee.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

An exploratory black-honey lot with unusually heavy mucilage retention. The page now separates SEY's Songo/Elto lot from lower-elevation Daye Bensa Hamasho-station records.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Selection

Bright-red cherries were hand-picked and floated to remove defects.

Black-honey preparation

Coffee was minimally depulped, intentionally retaining substantially more mucilage than a traditional honey.

Staged drying

It dried in a single layer in shade for five days, then in sun to about 11% moisture.

What was added?

Nothing documented.

What wasn't added?

No flavoring or external fruit was documented.

Why it matters

Heavy mucilage retention and staged drying distinguish this exploratory black-honey lot.

What you might taste

Ripe blueberry, peach tea and lychee.

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.
