Why some details are blank

roast levelSEY’s exact page does not publish a conventional roast-level label; no value was inferred from roaster style or another roaster’s version.
roast dateA third-party reseller records one June 8 bag, but no universal or base-offer roast date is published.
standardized gradeNo formal green-coffee grade was published for this exact release.
brew recommendationThe exact discussion references a personal starting-point recipe without publishing it; no tested recipe was inferred.
public numeric ratingThe one qualifying independent source is qualitative and contains only two impressions, so no numeric consensus was created.
owner reviewNo owner tasting observations, score, verdict or approval are recorded; none were created.

From the producer

Dwight Aguilar Masias is the producer at Finca Nueva Alianza in Santa Teresa, Cusco. Alliance for Coffee Excellence records his first-place washed Gesha lots in Peru’s 2018 and 2021 Cup of Excellence competitions and a fifth-place washed Yellow Gesha in 2025; those competition lots are contextual achievements, not scores for this separate SEY Red Gesha release.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery that focuses on sourcing and roasting high-quality, single-origin coffees with a light, clean approach. They prioritize long-term relationships with producers to highlight the unique characteristics of each coffee.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY’s first-season Red Gesha selection from Dwight Aguilar Masias combines a fully documented washed process with green-coffee price transparency: USD 32.26/kg farm gate, USD 47.34/kg FOB and USD 50.85/kg delivered-duty-paid. One exact-release discussion supplies limited positive-but-variable public sentiment, kept separate from Dwight’s competition results and the site’s owner review.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Cherry rest and selection

Peak-ripe cherries were hand-picked, held intact for 24 hours and floated to remove defects.

Depulping and fermentation

The selected cherries were depulped and dry-fermented for 36 hours.

Raised-bed drying

The coffee dried on raised beds for 20 days until moisture reached approximately 10%.

What was added?

No fruit, spice, flavoring ingredient or microbial inoculant is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No co-fermentation adjunct or post-roast flavoring is documented.

Why it matters

This is a documented washed Red Gesha with a staged cherry rest, dry fermentation and controlled drying endpoint. Competition results for other Nueva Alianza lots are not transferred to this release.

What you might taste

SEY describes jasmine, lychee and honeydew.

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.
