From the producer

Héctor Londoño produces Chiroso at Santa Catalina in Urrao, Antioquia. SEY first purchased his coffee for the 2026 season as part of its continuing Urrao Chiroso project.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery dedicated to sourcing and roasting dynamic, complex coffees through transparent relationships and precise, delicate roast profiles.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY’s first purchase from Héctor Londoño expands its multi-year Chiroso project in Urrao. The exact listing documents a five-day staged process and unusually detailed green-coffee pricing: 4 million COP per carga parchment, approximately USD 11.93/kg farm gate, USD 14.90/kg FOB and USD 18.37/kg delivered-duty-paid.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Ripe selection and cherry rest

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

Underwater fermentation

After depulping, the coffee fermented underwater for three additional days and was then washed.

Raised-bed drying

The washed parchment dried on raised beds until it reached 10.5% moisture.

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 process with staged cherry resting and underwater fermentation. The resulting flavor claims remain the roaster’s sensory description, not evidence of added ingredients.

What you might taste

SEY describes a bright tropical profile with melon and soft florals.

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 2026-11-06) 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

The Press, Waveform, Beans with Beanie, BeanHoard, Nordic Style Coffee Guide and other results are catalog, archive or retailer records. Beans with Beanie explicitly shows no ratings; Sigma Coffee’s sensory scales are seller-authored; Cherrybook’s CBI is an evidence-quality index and its Reddit sentiment concerns SEY generally. None qualifies as an independent exact-release tasting score.
