Sey Coffee
New York, NY, USA
This is a lovely washed selection from extreme altitude in Arbegona––one of our favorite growing regions in Ethiopia. In the cup we find lively acidity, watermelon, honeydew, and jasmine. ABOUT DUWANCHO Duwancho is one of the highest-altitude washing stations in all of Ethiopia. We have been focusing on this region for the past several years, as coffees from here continue to perform well in Ethiopian Cup of Excellence competitions. The high elevation and tiny dense seeds create some of the most vibrant and complex profiles we encounter year after year. We will continue going deeper into these hills, and hope to eventually offer single-producer lots from this special place. ABOUT ETHIOPIAN LANDRACE Ethiopia is widely acknowledged as where coffee originated, and its production continues to represent about 10% of the country’s gross domestic product. DNA testing has confirmed over 60 distinct varieties growing in Ethiopia, making it home to the most coffee biodiversity of any region in the world. Given the tradition of coffee production in Ethiopia and the political interworkings of the Ethiopian coffee trade, it is virtually impossible to get single variety coffee lots from Ethiopia. This is changing, albeit very slowly. Most Ethiopian coffees are blends of the many Ethiopian varieties, and referred to simply as 'Ethiopian Landrace'.
