Sey Coffee Hambela Ethiopia
- Jasmine and bergamot lead. Both are distinct, not blurred together.
- Stone fruit sits in the mid-palate. Peach or nectarine territory, clean-edged rather than jammy.
- The finish is dry and clear. No linger, no bitterness creeping in at the back.
- Water temperature matters here. Keep it off a full boil. This roast reads as floral at the right temperature and flat below it.
- Pull the pour over slow. Rushing the drawdown compresses the florals into something one-dimensional.
Who it’s for
The drinker who brews pour over deliberately and wants a textbook example of what washed Ethiopian processing does to a cup. This is also a strong candidate for anyone chasing bergamot character without going near flavored coffee.
Who should skip it
Anyone who wants a forgiving morning coffee they can dial in once and forget. This roast punishes inattention. It is also the wrong call for espresso or milk drinks, where the floral notes collapse entirely.

Price analysis
No 30-day price data is available for this product at time of writing. At 12 oz per bag, Sey sits at the premium end of the specialty market by default. Check the current price against comparable washed Guji offerings before buying. If it lands above $2.50 per oz, the value case depends entirely on your willingness to treat it as a single-origin showpiece rather than an everyday drinker.
