🇵🇭 Reflections from the Southeast Asian Green (SEA Green) Coffee Competition National Round in the Philippines.

This year’s event took us to Valencia City, hosted beautifully by the incredible team at .montesclaros.ranch . Our Director of Coffee, .choi__ , had the honor of serving as the head judge, with our founder, Eric Dobbs, joining a brilliant panel of coffee professionals to evaluate the Arabica categories.

To be blunt: many of the coffees we tasted completely challenged the static notions often associated with Philippine origin.

But the most exciting part of the week wasn’t just watching the scores go up on the board. It was witnessing a rapidly growing movement of coffees that are actively expanding the conversation around Philippine specialty coffee—revealing taste profiles, processing quality, and structural possibilities that many of us simply haven’t considered before.

Huge congratulations to all of the winners and participants. It was an absolute privilege to taste your hard work and witness the immense progress being made across every single category.

A special thank you to and the entire MM team for your flawless hospitality in hosting this year’s competition. And immense gratitude to .choi__ , .ministryofroasters , and for dedicating the time and vision to build a platform that gives smallholder producers the stage they earn. These are coffees that truly deserve to be seen, tasted, and celebrated on a global scale. ☕️🌋

We caught up with our good friend Elias from Forest Coffee at World of Coffee San Diego to drop a massive release: Black Condor is officially live.

We discovered this coffee while visiting the Forest team on the ground in Tolima, Colombia. Here is why this launch means so much to us:

🤝 The Relationship: A direct, deep partnership with Forest Coffee and local leader Emmanuel.

🕊️ The Support: Based in Gaitania—a region rebuilding after years of conflict—the project provides a central processing hub and fair pay (18-20% above market) to 100+ independent farmers.

✨ The Quality: Relentless producer workshops yield a meticulously clean, complex, high-altitude cup.
The Pour: Light Roast | Washed | Notes of Red Plum, Macadamia, & Sugar Cane. ☕️

Available via our website and at all Seven Seas locations.

From the farms of Colombia directly to your cup. 🇨🇴☕️

During our recent sourcing trip, our team had the privilege of spending time with Jaime Carvajal Giraldo, the visionary producer behind our newest Limited Release: a spectacular Honey-processed Gesha.

This coffee is a masterclass in sustainable luxury and a cornerstone of the ReForest Project. By partnering with Forest Coffee, we’re helping empower producer families through education and sustainable business practices, while restoring the local canopy through shade-grown specialty coffee.

The result in the cup? Pure elegance. Jaime’s honey process adds a rich, nectar-like sweetness to the floral complexity the Gesha variety is famous for.

☕️ Tasting Notes: Jasmine Tea, Honeycomb, Graham Cracker
🌱 Impact: Reforestation, Producer Innovation, & Long-term Sustainability

Experience a cup that is as impactful as it is rare. Available NOW online and at all Seven Seas locations! Link in bio to grab your bag. 🔗

Ever wonder why some decaf tastes flat, while others are just as vibrant as a regular cup? 🤔☕️

In today’s Reel, our Director of Coffee, Sam Choi, breaks down the science behind decaf. The secret? It all comes down to the process. If you start with incredibly high-quality coffee and utilize a gentle, water-based method, you can carefully extract the caffeine while perfectly preserving the complex flavors and delicate aromatics that make specialty coffee so special.

That’s exactly the philosophy behind our own decaf. 🌊⚓️

Discover the delightful taste of our Decaf EA Sugarcane Process coffee from Colombia. Carefully crafted using a natural sugarcane process, this decaf retains all the rich flavors and vibrant aromas of a regular cup—just without the caffeine. It’s perfect for those who want to enjoy the full-bodied, authentic taste of Colombian coffee at any time of the day, without sacrificing a good night’s sleep.

Coffee that tastes like a Watermelon Jolly Rancher?! 🍉🤯

Our GM Ashley is here to introduce the wildest coffee to ever hit our menu: The Candy Blast!

How is that even possible? It’s all thanks to a unique processing method called a Watermelon Co-Ferment. This method infuses the beans with incredible fruit sweetness during fermentation, resulting in a cup that completely defies expectations. 🧪✨

Seven Seas brought this gem back from Tolima, Colombia, and it literally silenced the room at the cupping table.

Drop what you’re doing—two heavy hitters just landed in the roastery. ☕️🔥

Our Head Roaster, Devin, is officially firing up the Loring for two incredible new releases now available at all Seven Seas locations:

🇲🇽 Mexico Finca La Esperanza: Back by popular demand! This Anaerobic Washed masterpiece from Emmanuel Rincón Vázquez is a total flavor bomb. Think Honey Dew Melon meets Milk Chocolate with a winey acidity that’ll change your perspective on Mexican coffee.

🇪🇹 Ethiopia Buncho: A stunning washed coffee from the Sidama region. Grown at staggering altitudes near the Shantawene waterfall, this one is pure elegance. We’re tasting White Grape, Rosy Earl Grey, and Honey.

Available now online and at all Seven Seas locations. Grab a bag and let us know which one is your new favorite!

02/16/2026

We brought in a pro to show us how it’s done.

Check out the making of our “Not a Samoa” Latte—Girl Scout approved! ✅

Since the box now reads “Caramel deLites” instead of the classic “Samoas,” we’re playfully embracing the rebrand with a wink (and a whole lot of crushed cookies).

✨ The Build: A rich Coconut-Caramel-Mocha
🥥 The Finish: crowned with toasted coconut & crushed Caramel deLites

Released this past weekend and it’s already flying off the bar. Come grab one!

📍 Pouring now at all Seven Seas locations + Mobile Unit 7.
