Every link we could verify, traced in one place. Follow the chain as far as it goes — when the industry doesn't disclose a link, we say so instead of guessing.

From the producer

About 2,000 farmers cultivate Ethiopian landrace coffee on garden plots averaging roughly one hectare and deliver cherry to Banko Gotiti washing station.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery dedicated to sourcing and roasting complex, high-quality coffees through transparent partnerships and precise development.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A station-level washed lot from a long-running SEY relationship, traceable to about 2,000 garden-scale farmers and a documented December 2025 harvest.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Broken producer link corrected

Removed the unrelated Karambi, Rwanda producer record and connected the existing Banko Gotiti smallholder collective.

02
Origin and cultivar verified

Connected Yirgacheffe, Banko Gotiti washing station, Ethiopian Landraces, and the exact 2,180-meter release.

03
Lot protocol documented

Recorded the December 2025 harvest, 24–48-hour underwater fermentation, 10–14-day raised-bed drying, archived $25/250g listing, and sold-out status.

What was added?

Verified region, station, smallholder collective, landrace relation, washed process, elevation, harvest, fermentation, drying, price, bag size, availability, and notes.

What wasn't added?

No roast level, public sentiment score, or original tasting score was added because SEY does not disclose the roast category and no qualifying independent exact-release review was found.

Why it matters

The profile no longer attributes this Ethiopian coffee to an unrelated Rwandan producer.

What you might taste

SEY lists peach tea, lemongrass, and wildflower honey; these are roaster-provided notes, not our tasting result.

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 2026-10-25) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
