From the producer

Neguesse Debela established the Danche washing station in 2019, which sources cherries from approximately 800 local smallholder farmers in the Gedeb area.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery focused on building long-term, transparent relationships across the supply chain to source and roast high-quality, complex coffees.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee represents a long-standing partnership between the roaster and the Danche washing station, featuring a specific processing method developed through their collaboration.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Identity

Confirmed the Danche site, Gedeb/Gedeo, Neguesse Debela context, and Ethiopian Landrace designation.

02
Lot details

Confirmed 2,200 m, December 2025 harvest, 36-hour submerged fermentation, 10–14-day raised-bed drying, and tasting notes.

03
Retail history

Recorded the archived $26.50/250 g format and sold-out status.

What was added?

Verified site and operator context, region, collective variety identity, altitude, harvest, exact processing, cup notes, historical package price, and evidence limits.

What wasn't added?

No individual contributing farms, owner tasting, score, approval, roast date, or inferred roast level.

Why it matters

The record now carries the exact lot's fermentation and drying protocol and avoids treating Ethiopian Landrace as a single cultivar.

What you might taste

SEY lists watermelon, apricot, and florality; these are roaster tasting notes, not our tasting observations.

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 2026-10-14) 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

BeanHoard, BeanBook, Catastro, and the Nordic guide are catalog or metadata pages rather than independent scored tasting reviews. TasteAtlas and retailer references were not verified as exact-release independent scores.

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.
