From the producer

Raro Boda is a washing station that purchases cherry from smallholder farmers around Uraga, Guji. The exact release does not identify the individual contributing farmers, so no individual producer record is attached.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee highlights this lot as part of their ongoing efforts to refine processing techniques in Ethiopia, resulting in a cup profile characterized by stone fruit and floral notes.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee represents a continuation of a specific processing and separation protocol developed by the roaster and their partners in Ethiopia to isolate unique lots from high-elevation sites.

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.
