From the producer

Fincas del Putushio is a collaborative project involving Jose and Pepe Jijón and Francisco Vintimilla. SEY describes a high-elevation, unusually dry Loja site sustained by natural water; Francisco was the first to plant coffee in the area and has supported local roads and water access.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery focused on sourcing complex, high-quality coffees through transparent and long-term relationships with producers. They prioritize highlighting the unique terroir and craftsmanship of their partners through light roasting profiles.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This September 2025 combination of lots #37 and #42 pairs an exact 2,200 m origin with a documented two-day whole-cherry oxidation stage and overnight post-depulp fermentation.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Paired-lot identity verified

Confirmed the combined #37 and #42 release, Putushio/Loja origin, producer group, 2,200 m altitude, September 2025 harvest, and Mejorado variety.

Washed protocol verified

Confirmed two days held intact in an oxidized environment, overnight post-depulp dry fermentation, washing, and raised-bed drying.

Historical commerce structured

Added Cherrybook’s exact archived $42 price and 250 g package.

Roast evidence normalized

Mapped Spro’s exact-release 3/5 indicator to the schema’s Medium label; it remains catalog metadata, not an owner tasting observation.

What was added?

Historical $42 USD retail price for 250 g, Medium roast-level normalization, refreshed availability, and explicit paired-lot provenance limits.

What wasn't added?

No lot-to-farm assignment, drying duration, roast date, formal grade, numeric public sentiment score, or owner tasting score was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now reflects the exact paired release without collapsing it into the separate Finca San Pedro Lot #30 coffee or inventing which Putushio farm produced each numbered lot.

What you might taste

SEY reports dragon fruit, honeydew, and rosewater.

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 2026-11-04) 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

Spro lists the exact release but reports zero reviews. Cherrybook’s CBI and roaster-level Reddit summary are catalog/context signals, not exact-coffee independent tasting reviews. Seller, directory, producer-project, and different-release sources were excluded.

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.
