From the producer

Hector Hernandez is a first-generation coffee grower who manages La Cumbre in Teruel, Huila. SEY was introduced to his coffee through The Coffee Quest.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery that focuses on delicate roast profiles to highlight the natural, complex characteristics of their seasonally sourced coffees.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This Gesha combines a 48-hour dry fermentation with Hector Hernandez's staged low-temperature mechanical drying and one-week GrainPro stabilization. SEY also documents the chain from a 4.5-million-COP farm-gate carga to approximately $11.56/kg green, $14.02/kg FOB and $19.81/kg FOT.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Selection

Ripe cherries were hand-picked and floated, then held in cherry overnight.

Depulping and fermentation

The cherries were depulped and dry-fermented for 48 hours.

Staged drying

The coffee spent 24 hours in a 20–30°C mechanical dryer, stabilized for one week in sealed GrainPro, then returned to the dryer until it reached 10% moisture.

What was added?

Nothing was reported as added during processing.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spices, flavorings, or microbial inoculants were reported.

Why it matters

The staged, low-temperature drying protocol is designed to dry the parchment evenly while preserving quality after fermentation.

What you might taste

SEY lists jasmine, mango, and champagne.
