From the producer

Maritza Dota is a coffee producer in Saraguro, Loja. This late 2025 lot came from her tiny garden of Mejorado, part of SEY’s small-lot project with the Dota family.

From the roaster

Sey is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery dedicated to sourcing and roasting dynamic, complex coffees through transparent, long-term relationships with producers.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The lot came from a Mejorado garden under one hectare and was imported through SEY’s project to move even very small Dota-family lots quickly enough to protect quality.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Harvest and sorting

Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove defects.

Depulping and fermentation

Coffee was depulped, dry-fermented for 24 hours, and washed.

Drying

The parchment was dried on raised beds for 15 days.

What was added?

No processing additives are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spices, flavorings, commercial cultures, or post-roast additives are disclosed. SEY does not publish a conventional roast category.

Why it matters

This separates the September late lot from Maritza Dota’s earlier March release, which has different tasting notes and pricing.

What you might taste

Florals, sweet grapefruit, cane sugar, and lychee, 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 2026-11-04) 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's exact listing shows no reviews. Exact catalogs provide release facts but no qualifying independently authored tasting review or numeric cup score; seller, directory, different-release, duplicate, and older-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.
