From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roaster known for sourcing clean, aromatic coffees and maintaining transparent, trust-based relationships with their producers.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

RELATIONSHIPS

Reverified Anthony Kimani, Kibingo Estate, Kirinyaga, Kenya, and SEY, then connected the existing Field Blend variety record.

PROCESS

Confirmed the December 2024 harvest, 1,750-meter elevation, 24-hour fermentation, channel sorting, freshwater soak, and 15-day raised-bed drying.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT

Summarized one independent exact-release discussion without converting qualitative praise into a numeric score; unrelated general dialing comments were excluded.

What was added?

Four editorial sections, a verified Field Blend link, and transparent positive-but-unscored public sentiment from one exact source.

What wasn't added?

No cultivar percentages, retail price, roast date, roast level, or numeric public score was added.

Why it matters

The field-blend link preserves the exact published cultivar set without asserting an unsupported composition.

What you might taste

SEY describes blackberry, plum, starfruit, and rose; independent tasters also mentioned star fruit, plum, berries, blueberry crumble, and a strong aroma.

r/pourover - SEY Anthony Kimani
One exact-release thread identifies the SEY Anthony Kimani Kibingo AA washed coffee. The original post reports prominent star fruit and plum; three additional tasters call it a favorite coffee of 2025, praise it as espresso with a blueberry-crumble impression, and describe it as balanced with strong berry/plum aroma.

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.
