Why some details are blank
  • gradeThe exact SEY page does not publish a formal green-coffee grade.
  • roast levelSEY does not state a conventional light, medium or dark category; Cherrybook's Light label is catalog classification rather than a roaster-published field.
  • roast dateNo bag-specific roast date is published for the database release record.
  • public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting rating with a transparent comparable score was found.

From the producer

Luis Salas planted his 1.5-hectare El Paraíso farm in 2015 and grows Gesha from Panama-sourced seed using fully organic practices.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing dynamic, complex coffees through transparent supply chain relationships. They prioritize precise roast profiles that highlight the inherent characteristics and aromatics of their producers' harvests.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A fully traceable, organically grown Gesha from a young high-Andes farm, with Panama-sourced seed, exact altitude and harvest timing, documented washed processing, and published farm-gate and FOB prices.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Primary-source reconciliation

Matched the record to SEY’s exact 2025 Luis Salas El Paraíso page and reconfirmed the lot's origin, farm, producer, variety, elevation, harvest, process and cup notes.

02
Commerce recovery

Recovered an exact archived $29.50 / 250 g consumer offer from Cherrybook and kept it separate from SEY's green-coffee economics.

03
Price contradiction corrected

Removed Beans with Beanie as a profile source because it presents SEY's $30.38/kg FOB green-coffee figure as a 1 kg retail price.

04
Sentiment boundary

Excluded catalog indices, roaster-wide reputation and unrated listing pages from exact-coffee public sentiment.

What was added?

Verified consumer price, package weight, current sold-out status and corrected commerce provenance.

What wasn't added?

No conventional roast level, formal grade, bag-specific roast date, owner score or numeric public sentiment rating.

Why it matters

The profile now separates the archived consumer offer from SEY's farm-gate and FOB sourcing prices.

What you might taste

Lychee, apricot, delicate florals, and sparkling acidity, as listed by 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 2026-10-28) 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

Cherrybook's 67 is explicitly an evidence-of-quality index rather than a cup score and relies partly on roaster-wide Reddit sentiment. Beans with Beanie lists no ratings, and RoastDB is an unrated catalog. No exact-release independent tasting score was retained.

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.
