From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery that focuses on seasonally sourced, delicately roasted coffees to highlight the natural diversity of global terroirs.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The Yaye site is a primary project for the roaster in the Arbegona region, consistently yielding some of their highest-scoring lots of the year.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Selective harvest and flotation

Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove defects.

Washed preparation

The cherries were depulped and density-separated to Grade 1.

Underwater fermentation

The coffee fermented underwater for 36 hours.

Raised-bed drying

The coffee dried on raised beds for 10–14 days.

What was added?

No flavorings, co-fermentation ingredients, or inoculants were disclosed.

What wasn't added?

SEY does not name an individual producer or publish additional fermentation controls beyond the 36-hour underwater step.

Why it matters

The exact page supports a conventional washed presentation with a documented underwater fermentation and drying window.

What you might taste

SEY lists watermelon, florality, and berries.
