From the producer

SEY does not identify individual farmers or a formal cooperative. The coffee comes from unnamed Musumba Hill farming families and was processed by Long Miles Coffee Project at Bukeye.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery dedicated to sourcing and roasting complex, dynamic coffees through transparent and progressive supply chain relationships.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A precisely separated Musumba Hill field blend with a fully documented double-fermentation and raised-bed drying protocol at Long Miles' first washing station.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Origin records reconciled

Replaced the generic Musumba and Long Miles links with the existing Musumba Hill and unnamed farming-community records; retained Bukeye as the documented processing station in prose.

02
Variety disclosure preserved

Recorded Red Bourbon and Mibirizi as known components and SL34 as likely present, while leaving the single-variety relation unset because percentages are undisclosed.

03
Lot protocol documented

Added the May 2025 harvest, 1,900-meter elevation, sequential 12-hour dry and 24-hour submerged fermentation, 16–20-day drying, $25/250g archive listing, and sold-out status.

What was added?

Verified province, hill community, producer context, washed process, field-blend disclosure, elevation, harvest, fermentation, drying, price, bag size, availability, and notes.

What wasn't added?

No individual farmer, cooperative, single variety, roast level, public sentiment score, or original tasting score was added because the exact release does not disclose or support them.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes the Musumba growing community from Bukeye washing station and Long Miles' processing role.

What you might taste

SEY lists dried apricot, black tea, and blood orange; 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.
