Why some details are blank

farm idSEY's exact release page does not name a farm; the producer's separate farm relationship is not automatically assigned.
gradeSEY does not publish a formal green-coffee grade or cupping classification for this release.
roast levelThe exact product page does not publish a conventional roast-level label.
bag size gExact catalog snapshots conflict between 250 g and 318 g; the archived primary page exposes no retail package size, so no canonical weight is asserted.
variety geneticsSL9 is the published working identity; cited sources do not establish an exact SL09 or Gesha genetic match.
public sentiment ratingThe one qualifying exact independent source is qualitative and supplies no numeric score.

From the producer

Lucio Luque is an Incahuasi Valley Cooperative producer in Cusco. Separate primary-source reporting traces his distinctive coffee to his Nuevo Progresso parcel and uses SL9 as the working identity after genetic testing did not produce an exact reference match.

From the roaster

SEY presents this as a washed SL9 release from Lucio Luque’s November 2024 harvest in Amaybamba, Cusco.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This high-elevation SL9 lot combines a documented 2,200-meter growing elevation with a short 20-hour dry fermentation. The variety is kept under its published working identity rather than converted to Gesha.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified the exact release

Reconfirmed SEY's November 2024 Lucio Luque SL9 release, origin, elevation, process, drying, tasting notes, and sold-out status.

Added stable price evidence

Recorded the $28.25 exact-catalog price while leaving package weight blank because exact snapshots conflict between 250 g and 318 g.

Preserved provenance boundaries

Kept Lucio Luque as producer without assigning the separately documented Nuevo Progresso parcel to this exact release.

Separated public mention from scoring

Retained Coffeeplus's exact qualitative year-end mention without fabricating a numeric public or owner tasting score.

What was added?

Exact origin, elevation, harvest, variety, processing, drying, tasting notes, stable catalog price, and a clearly separated qualitative public mention.

What wasn't added?

No farm link, conventional roast level, canonical bag weight, genetic equivalence, public numerical rating, or owner tasting score.

Why it matters

The record distinguishes exact-release facts from producer-level farm context, conflicting package snapshots, roaster descriptors, and outside qualitative commentary.

What you might taste

Gesha-like florality, limeade, and white grape, as reported by SEY.

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.
