From the producer

SEY credits exporting partner SNAP with enabling the separation of high-elevation Harmufo deliveries. The 2025 product page does not name individual growers or a station operator.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee highlights this lot as a unique separation of high-elevation cherries, showcasing the potential of the Harmufo area which was previously obscured in broader regional blends.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY presents this as the first distinct separation of Harmufo’s highest-elevation deliveries, previously folded into broader regional selections.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selective picking and flotation

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

02
Depulping and density sorting

Cherries were depulped, then density-separated to isolate Grade 1 material.

03
Underwater fermentation

The coffee fermented underwater for 36 hours.

04
Raised-bed drying

The lot dried on raised beds for 10–14 days.

What was added?

The coffee is explicitly sold as a honey process; SEY’s page also documents water-based flotation and underwater fermentation.

What wasn't added?

SEY’s 2025 product page does not disclose fruit additions, flavorings, or inoculated cultures.

Why it matters

Separating Harmufo’s highest-elevation deliveries gives the area a distinct identity instead of subsuming it in a larger regional lot.

What you might taste

Lemon candy, ripe berries, and honeydew.

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 2026-10-12) 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

Method: searched for independently authored firsthand reviews matching SEY, Harmufo, Honey process, and the 2025 release. Seller copy, SEY’s page, later Harmufo releases, catalogs, and generic regional commentary were excluded. No qualifying exact-release source was found; no score was assigned.

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.
