The station purchases cherry from nearly 10,000 producers across the communities of Dilla Suke, Demeka, Goacho, Becha, and Bashiro Dale. Sidama coffees have consistently ranked among SEY's highest-scoring selections in recent years, and they intend to deepen their focus on the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthiopia is widely acknowledged as where coffee originated, with DNA testing confirming over 60 distinct varieties. Single-variety lots are virtually impossible to source, so most Ethiopian coffees are blends referred to simply as \"Ethiopian Landrace.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dry-Fermented process for this lot involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — cherries picked at peak ripeness\u003cbr\u003e💧 Floating — floated to further remove defects\u003cbr\u003e🌱 De-pulping — cherries de-pulped\u003cbr\u003e⚖️ Density separation — Grade 1 density separated\u003cbr\u003e⏱️ Dry fermentation — 36 hours\u003cbr\u003e☀️ Raised-bed drying — 10–14 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright and tea-like: lychee leads, with black tea and raspberry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🍈 Lychee 🍵 Black Tea 🍇 Raspberry\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SEY Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 250g \/ November 2nd","offer_id":59252158988662,"sku":"SEY-DEMEKA-BECHA-DRY-FERMENTED-HEIRLOOM-LANDRACE-OTHER-FIL-250G-NOV02","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Filter \/ 250g \/ November 3rd","offer_id":59269120065910,"sku":"SEY-DEMEKA-BECHA-DRY-FERMENTED-HEIRLOOM-LANDRACE-OTHER-FIL-250G-NOV03","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/2026DemekaBecha_Dry-Fermented-Ethiopia_2560x.png-cropped.jpg?v=1793869010","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/de\/products\/sey-coffee-demeka-becha-dry-fermented-landrace-ethiopia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
