From the producer

Daniel Caro Lopez is a second-generation producer at El Tambo, a 33-hectare property with about five hectares in coffee at 2,200 meters. He primarily grows Chiroso with a small Gesha garden.

From the roaster

SEY presents this January 2025 release as another high-elevation Chiroso expression from its continuing work with Daniel Caro Lopez and the Caro family in Anzá.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The profile corrects a material unit error: SEY documents 80 hours of underwater fermentation, not 80 days.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selective harvest and sorting

Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated.

02
Same-day depulping

The coffee was depulped on the day of harvest.

03
Underwater fermentation

The depulped coffee fermented underwater for 80 hours.

04
Raised-bed drying

The washed coffee dried on raised beds until moisture reached approximately 10%.

What was added?

Nothing was disclosed as added.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spices, flavorings, commercial cultures or post-roast additives were disclosed.

Why it matters

The release uses a traditional washed method; correcting hours versus days prevents a major distortion of the processing protocol.

What you might taste

SEY reports a yellow tropical profile with tamarind and rose.

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.

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.
