From the producer

Jose Martinez is a dedicated producer in southern Huila whose Pink Bourbon lots are consistently recognized for their high quality and clean profile.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing and roasting dynamic, complex coffees through long-term producer relationships.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The final 2025 harvest pass from a long-running SEY producer relationship, combining Pink Bourbon genetics, high elevation, and carefully controlled washed processing.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and sorting

Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove defects.

02
Depulping and fermentation

Coffee was depulped on the harvest day and dry-fermented for 30 hours.

03
Drying

The washed parchment was dried on raised beds.

What was added?

Verified Huila linkage, 1,750 m elevation, February 2025 harvest, archived $25.75/250 g price, and exact-release qualitative public sentiment.

What wasn't added?

No numeric public score or original tasting score; the independent exact-release source did not publish a rating.

Why it matters

This preserves the distinction between the roaster’s tasting notes, the site’s unscored profile, and outside qualitative experience.

What you might taste

SEY lists red fruit, lemon zest, and fresh blueberry. Independent brewers also reported bright berry fruit, pronounced acidity, sweetness, and high tannin potential.

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 2026-10-25) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
