Why some details are blank
  • ProducerThe source credits the Sike Bokasso community rather than one named producer.
  • AltitudeThe official source gives a 2,250–2,400 m range; the single-number field is left blank rather than storing a midpoint.
  • Roast levelSigma labels the product for filter brewing but does not provide a site-compatible light-to-dark roast level.
  • Formal gradeNo exact-release source located states a formal final coffee grade.
  • Public sentiment ratingExact-product listings contain no qualifying product-level cup rating.

From the producer

The coffee was grown by the Sike Bokasso community in Guji. Because the community has no washing station, the lot was processed and dried at Halo Hartume in neighboring Gedeb with support from exporter SNAP.

From the roaster

SEY calls this a second-year Sike Bokasso partnership and describes a bright, fruit-forward cup with watermelon, peach, and lemongrass.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A labor-intensive community separation from some of Guji's highest elevations, grown in Sike Bokasso but processed across the district boundary at Halo Hartume.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Separated growing and processing locations

Recorded Guji as the growing region and Halo Hartume in neighboring Gedeb as the processing site.

02
Documented the full washed protocol

Added the 12-hour cherry hold, 12-hour dry ferment, 12-hour wet ferment, hand washing, and shade-drying endpoint.

03
Bound the outside evidence

Retained exact-product catalogs and a retailer listing, but excluded store-level or roaster-level ratings from coffee sentiment.

What was added?

Guji relation; Ethiopian Landraces relation; January 2026 harvest; 2,250–2,400 m sourced range; full dual-fermentation sequence; $25/250 g archived listing; exact outside source count

What wasn't added?

Point elevation; single named producer; roast level; formal grade; public sentiment score; original tasting score or verdict

Why it matters

The profile now distinguishes where the coffee grew from where it was processed and documents the exact 2026 release without inventing a producer or rating.

What you might taste

SEY publishes watermelon, peach, and lemongrass; these are roaster notes, not our tasting observations.

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 2026-10-26) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
