From the producer

Jose and Pepe Jijón are dedicated Ecuadorian producers who prioritize environmental harmony through organic and biodynamic farming. They work alongside Francisco Vintimilla to manage their high-altitude farm, focusing on producing unique, high-quality lots.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing and roasting complex, dynamic coffees through transparent and progressive supply chain relationships.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Rather than presenting one previously documented Putushio lot, this release was assembled after the Jijón brothers cupped multiple 2026 selections and chose the strongest components. That makes earlier lot-specific variety, process, altitude, and tasting details unsafe to reuse.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selection

Pepe and Jose cupped multiple Putushio selections.

02
Assembly

They assembled what SEY calls the best of the farm’s 2026 production into this second-harvest release.

What was added?

No flavoring or adjunct is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No flavor ingredients are documented; the floral and fruit terms are SEY’s cup descriptors.

Why it matters

A multi-selection assembly cannot inherit technical fields from a different named lot without exact release evidence.

What you might taste

Orange blossom, mandarin, and cooked pear, according to SEY.

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 2026-10-24) 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

Retail and roaster listings were treated as identity evidence, not independent tasting reviews; no public sentiment score is calculated.

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.
