From the producer

The Chelbessa site is located in the Gedeb woreda, a region where coffee production is relatively young and continues to show remarkable potential for quality and distinctiveness.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery focused on sourcing and roasting seasonal coffees that showcase the diversity of flavors and aromatics produced by different global terroirs.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee reflects the roaster's commitment to identifying and isolating specific lots from the Chelbessa site, moving beyond the broader Yirgacheffe classification to explore the potential of the Gedeb woreda.

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.
