From the producer

Ericson Luque is a young, second-generation producer and the son of Lucio Luque. SEY says he independently manages a one-hectare coffee garden using traditional and regenerative practices.

From the roaster

SEY presents this as a washed SL9 release from Ericson Luque’s November 2024 harvest in Amaybamba, Cusco.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is a traceable, high-elevation SL9 lot from a second-generation producer managing his own one-hectare garden. SL9 is retained as a working variety identity; the cited source does not establish it as Gesha or as an exact SL09 genetic match.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified identity

Matched the published coffee to SEY’s exact Ericson Luque / Nueva Esperanza release page.

02
Structured the lot

Confirmed Cusco, Amaybamba, 2,000 meters, November 2024 harvest, SL9, washed processing, 36-hour dry fermentation, parabolic drying, published tasting notes, and historical $29.50/250 g retail fields.

03
Corrected the farm link

Removed the unrelated Honduras Nueva Esperanza link and connected the coffee to a new producer-specific Peru farm record supported by SEY and Cherrybook.

What was added?

Exact farm identity, historical retail price and bag size, refreshed availability, independent catalog provenance, and explicit evidence limits.

What wasn't added?

No categorical roast level, genetic equivalence, independent cup score, drying duration, or bag-specific roast date was inferred.

Why it matters

The record no longer conflates farms in different countries and now separates exact release facts from unresolved genetic and public-review questions.

What you might taste

Orange blossom, lychee, and red berries, as reported by SEY.
