Well-regarded

Two live Reddit sources present SEY positively, with qualifications. A detailed brewer found one rested coffee fruity, juicy, delicious, and special, but said it was not always easy to brew and reported inconsistent cafe pourovers. Another commenter describes SEY beans as well roasted, without burnt or toasty flavors, and says they keep well.
