I drank this as part of Leaderboard Season 13 (coffee #9 out of 10).
I liked this coffee a lot. It's quite clean but has a lot going on, as the best Sidras are. It's my first Ecuadorian Sidra, and I think it expresses itself similar to the Colombian ones I've had.
For me it starts off with a bit of strawberry and black tea. It has some lemon/tangerine in the background, and is a touch herbal and a touch floralCupping Method:Pourover v60, 18:1 ratio. Came out really well at 199 degrees.

Notes were not great here as IDed the coffee pretty quick from the bean size in the Leaderboard coffee game. Strong depth of florality and stone fruit.

Somewhat small, irregular beans. Very fruity with almond at the beginning, the strawberry, starfruit, and tropical acidity. Maybe a bit of peach. Tilting towards the fruity/acidic side but many will like. Got some bergamot on the second cupping.
Quite good!Cupping Method:Chemex than Hario v60, Leaderboard Season 12, Coffee #7

Delicate and smooth coffee on the nose and sip. The aroma is a bit muted. I contemplated giving this a 3.5 instead of 4 on the aroma, mainly because I expect so much more out of Gesha's. I was really looking for more floral and jasmine notes. I just think this could've been great, but wasn't quite.
Now, I could drink this coffee every day if I wanted to, because of the balance and acidity.
I'll also note that Sey brewed this via Aeropress at their brooklyn location/roastery. I'm not a big fan of Aeropress brewing and am sure that a nice v60 would've produced more of the floral notes.
Notes:
- Mild Jasmine
- Very mild Honeysuckle
- Quite a bit of caramel sweetness (as it cooled after about 3-4 mins)Cupping Method:Aeropress brewed at Sey location in Brooklyn.

Characteristic carefully roasted Ethiopian with a tea platform, white peach, slight honeysuckle florals. Light lemon. Silky mouthfeel. The peach is really nice. I've had some Ethiopians this year that I've been more interesting, but this is a classic.Cupping Method:V60, 196F, 18:1, just had a single 20g sample
