Why some details are blank
  • producerThe exact SEY page identifies the Yaye Chericho processing site but does not name an individual producer.
  • roast levelThe exact sources do not publish a release-specific conventional light, medium, or dark roast level; Sigma's omni/light language is general SEY guidance.
  • roast dateNo bag-specific roast date is available for the archived direct-sale release.
  • gradeThe page describes Grade 1 density separation during processing but does not expose a final formal lot-grade field.
  • public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release review or rating was found; retailer-hosted and evidence-index scores were excluded.
  • original tasting scoreNo original Who Makes The Best Coffee tasting score has been recorded.

From the producer

SEY identifies Yaye Chericho as a processing site in Arbegona, Sidama. The exact lot page does not name an individual producer, so none is assigned.

From the roaster

SEY describes this as its second release year from Yaye Chericho and documents the January 2025 harvest, 2,230-meter elevation, washed process, fermentation, drying, and tasting profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A high-elevation late-harvest washed coffee with unusually complete processing documentation and a clearly disclosed absence of an individual producer name.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact release

Reconfirmed the Yaye Chericho processing site, Arbegona/Sidama, 2,230 m, January 2025 harvest, and Ethiopian Landrace identity.

02
Confirmed processing

Documented hand selection, flotation, depulping, density separation, 36 hours of underwater fermentation, and 10–14 days of raised-bed drying.

03
Resolved retail and package fields

coffeeDB and Cherrybook support the sold-out $25 consumer listing; Cherrybook and Sigma now agree on a 250 g package.

04
Separated evidence from scores

Cherrybook's evidence index and Kofio's retailer-hosted vote were not treated as independent exact-coffee cup scores. No original or public numeric score was created.

What was added?

January 2025 structured harvest, $25 USD historical retail price, 250 g package, and refreshed source trail.

What wasn't added?

No individual producer, conventional release-specific roast level, formal final-lot grade, original tasting score, or numerical independent public sentiment rating was added.

Why it matters

The profile now reflects the exact archived release and resolves the prior package-size conflict using two currently aligned exact-product sources.

What you might taste

SEY lists florals, peach, and complex melons.

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 2026-11-04) 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

Exact-title searches returned no qualifying independent review. Cherrybook's CBI is an evidence-quality index rather than a cup score, and Kofio's single vote is hosted by a coffee retailer; both were excluded from independent public sentiment.
