José ‘Pocho’ Gallardo produces Gesha at Finca Nuguo in Jurutungo, Renacimiento, Chiriquí. SEY selected this 15-kilogram lot with him during a farm visit.
Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery that focuses on sourcing and roasting high-quality, complex coffees through long-term, transparent relationships with producers. They prioritize highlighting the unique characteristics of each origin through a light, precise roasting approach.
A 15-kilogram, producer- and lot-number-specific Panama Gesha with a precisely documented two-stage drying environment and one of SEY’s highest historical retail prices.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
The Gesha was hand-picked at peak ripeness on April 1, 2025 and floated.
SEY says the coffee was gently fermented at 1,900 m and washed in natural spring water; duration and vessel are not disclosed.
The coffee dried on African beds at Finca Nuguo for 48 hours, then moved to David for controlled-room finishing at 20°C and 10% humidity.
Nothing is reported as added during processing.
No fruit, flavoring, or inoculated culture is disclosed.
The release is a conventional washed Gesha with unusually controlled drying; the missing fermentation duration prevents a more specific processing claim.
SEY lists jasmine, rose, Meyer lemon, bergamot, and a slightly tropical finish.

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.
What the internet is saying about this coffee
Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-27) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
Exact catalog pages corroborated price, size and product details but supplied no independent tasting review. Spro explicitly showed no reviews; Cherrybook’s evidence index and general SEY sentiment were excluded from public scoring.

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.
