From the producer

The Jijón family manages Finca Soledad with organic and biodynamic practices and uses the coffee project to support and employ single mothers in the surrounding community.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery that focuses on sourcing and roasting complex, dynamic coffees while fostering long-term relationships throughout the supply chain. They prioritize transparency and quality in their selection of seasonal offerings.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A transparent second-harvest Sidra lot from a four-hectare coffee parcel embedded in a much larger protected cloud-forest property.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Selective harvest

Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness on March 10, 2025.

Tank rest

Whole cherries rested in open tanks for 12 hours.

Washed processing

The coffee was depulped and washed.

Raised-bed drying

Seeds dried on raised beds with controlled airflow and sun exposure.

What was added?

No flavoring or co-ferment ingredients are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

SEY does not publish drying duration or additional fermentation controls for this lot.

Why it matters

The short pre-depulping rest and controlled raised-bed drying are documented processing steps, while the coffee remains correctly classified as a traditional washed lot.

What you might taste

SEY lists melon, soft florals, and lime zest.

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 2026-10-10) 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

Cherrybook's exact-coffee page lists no SCA grade, Coffee Review, YouTube, shop, or Cherrybook rating. Its 68 CBI measures evidence coverage and reputation inputs rather than the cup, while its Reddit signal concerns SEY generally, so neither was used.

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.
