From the producer

Neguesse Debela acquired Danche in 2019. For this White Honey lot, the station and SNAP quality-control team developed a tightly specified mucilage-retention and shade-drying protocol.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery focused on building long-term, transparent relationships with producers to source and showcase dynamic, complex coffees. They prioritize high-quality processing and meticulous quality control in their partnerships.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A high-elevation Ethiopian Landrace lot using a clearly documented White Honey protocol at Danche, with separated Grade 1 selection and intensive quality control.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Select

The Danche and SNAP teams drew this release from the station’s top Grade 1 lots using intensive cupping and separation.

02
Pick and float

Bright-red ripe cherries were hand-picked and floated to remove defects.

03
Depulp

Cherries were depulped quickly while intentionally retaining a small amount of mucilage.

04
Shade-dry

The coffee dried on shaded beds with mucilage intact for three days until moisture reached approximately 10%.

What was added?

No adjuncts are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

SEY does not disclose fruit, spices, flavorings, inoculated cultures, or a separate fermentation stage.

Why it matters

The White Honey protocol retains limited mucilage while using shaded, controlled drying; SEY also documents unusually intensive Grade 1 lot selection.

What you might taste

SEY reports peach tea, watermelon, and Key lime. Independent reports leaned positive but varied substantially by bag, rest, water, and brew method.

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.
