From the producer

Armando Hurtado is a young producer in Pacaypata, Cusco, where he manages the biodiverse Los Pinos farm using traditional organic cultivation.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing and roasting dynamic, complex coffees that highlight unique terroirs.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Los Pinos combines a rare SL9 planting, very high elevation and unusual biodiversity, including a waterfall running through the farm.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
IDENTITY

Reverified SEY, Peru, Cusco, Los Pinos, Armando Hurtado, and the existing SL9 relationship against the exact release page.

02
PROCESS

Confirmed the November 2024 harvest, 2,100-meter elevation, 32-hour dry fermentation, washed process, and raised-bed drying.

03
EVIDENCE CHECK

Separated green-coffee transparency prices from retail pricing and excluded sources tied to the 2026 crop or an unspecified release.

What was added?

Four editorial sections with documented producer, farm, variety, process, cup, and green-price context.

What wasn't added?

No retail price, drying duration, roast date, roast level, or outside rating was added.

Why it matters

The evidence supports SL9 as the working variety identity while explicitly leaving its genetics unresolved.

What you might taste

SEY describes layered fruit, sparkling acidity, and pronounced florality.

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 2026-10-12) 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

Exact-title and producer/farm searches were checked on October 12, 2026. A German discussion and catalog pages for the 2026 Los Pinos crop, plus seller-only pages, were excluded because they do not verify the exact 2025 release.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
