From the producer

William Ortiz is a producer based in Huila who cultivates a variety of cultivars including Caturra, Pink Bourbon, Chiroso, and Aji. He is noted for his ability to consistently produce high-quality lots across multiple harvests.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing dynamic and complex coffees through transparent relationships. They utilize precise roast development to highlight the inherent character of the coffees they select.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This lot represents a rare separation of the Aji variety, an Ethiopian landrace cultivar that the roaster has only featured a few times in their history. It highlights the roaster's ongoing exploration of producer William Ortiz's work in the Huila region.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Ripe selection

Cherry was hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove defects.

Overnight rest

Whole cherry was held overnight before depulping.

Washed fermentation

Depulped coffee was dry-fermented for 36 hours and then washed.

Drying

Coffee was dried on raised beds to 10.5% moisture.

What was added?

No flavoring ingredient or microbial inoculant is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The sources do not describe fruit, spices, flavoring, or post-roast additions.

Why it matters

The sequence is a documented washed process; the distinctive cup is attributed to the Aji cultivar, site, and production rather than an added flavor.

What you might taste

SEY reports rose, açaí, and ripe raspberry.

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 2026-11-04) 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

BeanHoard, The Press, and Cherrybook are exact-release catalog or retailer-adjacent evidence for price, package, provenance, and availability, not independent scored tastings. Cherrybook’s CBI is explicitly an evidence-of-quality index rather than a cup score. Generic SEY commentary and different William Ortiz harvests were 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.
