Hamasho Songo – Lot 154 | Black Honey Expression from Sidama

From the famously complex terroir of Bensa’s Hamasho region comes an experimental black honey release that delivers an intricate cup of ripe blueberry, soothing peach tea, and floral lychee. Hand-harvested, floated, and processed with extra mucilage followed by shaded and sun drying, this lot balances innovation with a deeply rooted heritage - an evocative journey in every sip.

What is the roast recency?

SEY doesn't advertise a roast preference to Filter or Espresso, instead they are roasted for the best amongst both - often called Omniroast. That being said, SEY typically roast light.

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
