Why some details are blank

FARMThe exact July 2024 release names Maritza Dota as producer and Seraguro as the region but does not identify a farm.
FORMAL GRADENo formal green-coffee grade is published for the exact release.
ROAST LEVELThe exact release does not state a conventional roast category.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT RATINGCherrybook’s 66 is explicitly an evidence-of-quality index rather than a cup score. An exact-title independent video was found, but its tasting content and any rating were not retrievable, so no public sentiment rating was added.

From the producer

Maritza Dota produces Mejorado coffee in Saraguro, Loja. SEY’s July 2024 release marked the roaster’s first year working with her.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery known for its commitment to the Nordic light roast style, which emphasizes the delicate and vibrant characteristics of each origin. They prioritize long-term relationships with producers to showcase high-quality, complex coffees.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This release represents the first collaboration between SEY and producer Maritza Dota. It features the Mejorado variety, a unique Bourbon and Ethiopian Landrace cross-pollination primarily cultivated in Ecuador.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Structured the verified retail price

Added the exact catalog capture of $29.25 USD for a 250 g bag to the previously blank price fields.

Reconfirmed the exact release

Matched the July 2024 harvest, producer, Mejorado variety, Seraguro origin, altitude, washed process and cup notes to SEY’s archived page.

Kept scoring boundaries explicit

Did not treat Cherrybook’s evidence index or an inaccessible exact-title video as an owner score or public cup rating.

What was added?

Verified structured retail price, refreshed availability evidence, and explicit score provenance.

What wasn't added?

No farm identity, formal grade, conventional roast level, owner tasting score, component ratings, verdict, review date, or outside cup rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The page’s structured commerce fields now agree with its exact-release evidence while owner-review and public-sentiment boundaries remain intact.

What you might taste

Orange blossom, ripe peach and raspberry, 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 2026-11-02) 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

An independent video with an exact-match title was found, but its tasting content and any score were not retrievable for verification. Seller, directory, roaster-wide, different-release, duplicate, and non-quantified 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.
