Why some details are blank
  • altitude mSEY publishes a 1,900–2,210 masl range; the numeric field accepts only one value, so no misleading midpoint or minimum was stored.
  • drying methodShade drying to approximately 10% moisture is documented, but the drying surface and duration are not published.
  • roast levelSEY does not publish a conventional roast category for this exact release; the previous Light value was an inference and was removed.
  • roast dateSEY publishes a weekly roast cadence but no bag-specific roast date for this profile.
  • internet pulseNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting review or numeric rating was found; catalog indexes and general roaster sentiment were excluded.

From the producer

Gedeb natives Worasa Mijane and his son Daniel established the Halo Hartume washing station in 2013, after Worasa began processing coffee at Worka Sakaro in the early 2000s. The site also processes cherry from isolated nearby areas.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery that focuses on sourcing seasonal coffees and roasting them delicately to highlight the work of their producing partners.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This exact second-selection release documents an unusually clear sequence for a washed community-station coffee: a 12-hour shaded cherry hold, separate 12-hour dry and wet fermentation stages, hand washing, and shade drying to roughly 10% moisture.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Origin and variety connected

Connected the existing Gedeb district and Ethiopian Landraces records while retaining Yirgacheffe as the broader designation.

02
Process corrected

Replaced the generic underwater-fermentation and raised-bed claims with SEY’s exact cherry hold, dry-fermentation, wet-fermentation, washing, and shade-drying sequence.

03
Unsupported roast removed

Cleared the inferred Light roast because SEY does not publish a conventional roast category for this exact release.

04
Listing refreshed

Added January 2026 harvest, the 1,900–2,210 masl range in prose, current $25/250 g pricing, and current availability.

What was added?

Gedeb and Ethiopian Landraces links, exact processing sequence, January 2026 harvest, altitude range, current retail price, and current availability.

What wasn't added?

No single altitude number, drying surface or duration, formal grade, bag-specific roast date, owner score, tasting verdict, or public sentiment rating was added.

Why it matters

The record now reflects the exact release instead of generic washed-process assumptions, and the site can derive regional and variety tags from verified linked entities.

What you might taste

SEY lists melon, plum, and lemon verbena. These are roaster notes, not an original site tasting.

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 2026-10-27) 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

Cherrybook and Beanbook corroborate exact catalog facts but do not provide an independent exact-coffee tasting review. Cherrybook’s 64 is an evidence-coverage index, not a cup score. General SEY sentiment was excluded.

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.
