From the producer

Susan Meneses is a producer based in San Adolfo, Huila, with whom Sey Coffee began a new partnership in 2026.

From the roaster

We do not currently buy much coffee from San Adolfo, but this lot from Susan Meneses is a standout. We look forward to visiting and learning more on our next trip.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY identified this May 2026 Pink Bourbon as a standout in its first year working with Susan Meneses, extending the roaster’s producer relationships into San Adolfo, Huila.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selection

Peak-ripe cherries were hand-picked and floated to remove defects.

02
Depulping and fermentation

Cherries were depulped on harvest day and dry-fermented for 48 hours.

03
Washing and drying

The coffee was washed and dried on raised beds until moisture reached 10.5%.

04
Current status check

SEY’s exact product page was rechecked and still marks this release no longer available.

What was added?

The source discloses flotation and washing; no processing adjunct is identified.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spices, commercial flavoring or inoculated culture is disclosed.

Why it matters

The documented protocol is a conventional washed process, with lot-specific fermentation and drying details.

What you might taste

SEY lists hibiscus, blueberry and finger lime; xBloom separately describes blueberry acidity, hibiscus and lime.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-04) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

xBloom is an exact seller listing; The Press, BeanHoard, Waveform, and Cherrybook are catalog or retailer-adjacent sources. Cherrybook’s 63 index is explicitly an evidence-of-quality index rather than a cup score, and its general SEY Reddit signals do not evaluate this exact lot. None was converted into public sentiment.
