From the producer

José Martínez is the producer behind Finca El Casino in Palestina, Huila. SEY describes him as a consistent long-term partner whose Pink Bourbon remains a recurring favorite.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing and roasting dynamic, complex coffees. They have maintained a multi-year relationship with Jose Martinez, highlighting his work as a benchmark for consistency and quality in the region.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A release-specific second harvest pass from one of SEY’s long-term southern Huila producer relationships.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Separated the release

Kept the October 2024 second-harvest Pink Bourbon distinct from José Martínez's February 2025 end-of-season pass and other-roaster releases.

02
Preserved exact relationships

Retained Finca El Casino and the existing José Martínez producer record without creating or changing related entities.

03
Completed disclosed processing

Reverified 1,750 m elevation, same-day depulping, 30-hour dry fermentation, and raised-bed drying from SEY's exact archive.

04
Rejected mislabeled commerce

Beans with Beanie's displayed per-kilogram amounts reproduce SEY's FOB/FOT supply-chain figures, not consumer retail prices; no retail price or bag size was inferred.

What was added?

Fresh exact-release verification, explicit harvest-pass boundaries, score provenance, and a documented distinction between supply-chain transparency and retail commerce.

What wasn't added?

No retail price, consumer package size, drying duration, conventional roast level, owner tasting score, or public sentiment score without exact evidence.

Why it matters

José Martínez has multiple harvest passes and roaster releases; keeping harvest, commerce, and review evidence distinct prevents cross-lot contamination.

What you might taste

SEY describes red tea, Key lime, and strawberry preserves.

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 2026-11-03) 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

Beans with Beanie's exact listing says 'No ratings yet' and 'No written reviews yet.' Cherrybook's sensory fields and evidence index are estimated or use general roaster signals rather than an exact-coffee cup score. A forum mention could not be tied uniquely to this October 2024 pass, and the February 2025 end-of-season and other-roaster releases were excluded.

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.
