From the producer

SNAP is an exporting partner that works with local sites like Chorso Bule to source and process coffee, focusing on quality improvements and specific lot separations based on elevation and ripeness.

From the roaster

Sey is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing complex, high-quality coffees through transparent partnerships and precise roasting techniques.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY describes 2026 as its first year working with Chorso Bule. This November 2025 lot is distinct from SEY’s January 2026 Chorso Bule Highest Elevation Project release.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
HARVEST AND SORTING

Ripe cherries were hand-picked, floated, held whole for 24 hours, depulped, and Grade 1 density separated.

02
FERMENTATION

The coffee dry-fermented for 24 hours, followed by 12 hours of wet fermentation without submersion.

03
DRYING

The parchment dried on raised beds for 10–14 days.

What was added?

Connected Gedeb and Ethiopian Landrace; added 2,450 m, November 2025 harvest, full processing, archived $27.50/250 g pricing, and one exact-source qualitative sentiment note.

What wasn't added?

No individual producer, conventional roast category, numeric public rating, or original tasting score was inferred.

Why it matters

This establishes the standard Chorso Bule lot as a separate November 2025 release rather than conflating it with the January 2026 Highest Elevation Project.

What you might taste

Peach tea, melon, and jasmine, according to SEY.

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.
