From the producer

Marlene Rojas is a producer at El Nevado in Incahuasi, Cusco. SEY’s 2025 release documented her SL9 lot at 2,350 meters; its separate 2026 release documented a Gesha lot from the same farm at 2,050 meters.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a roaster known for its focus on light-roast profiles that highlight the inherent characteristics of high-quality, single-origin coffees. They prioritize direct relationships with producers to source exceptional lots from emerging regions.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This lot documents the rare SL9 working identity at 2,350 meters in Cusco; SEY notes that its exact genetic fingerprint is unresolved and resembles SL09.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
IDENTITY

Reverified SEY, Peru, Cusco, El Nevado, Marlene Rojas, SL9, and the washed-process relationship.

02
CROP SEPARATION

Kept the 2025 SL9 lot separate from El Nevado’s 2026 Gesha crop and did not transfer its variety or elevation.

03
SENTIMENT AUDIT

Removed the unsupported one-source exact-release attribution because no qualifying independent URL could be verified; roaster-wide and inferred aggregator signals were excluded.

What was added?

Four editorial sections covering producer, farm, SL9 identity, process, cup, green pricing, and the sentiment correction.

What wasn't added?

No retail price, drying duration, roast level, roast date, SCA grade, or public sentiment score was added.

Why it matters

The crop separation prevents the 2026 Gesha release from overwriting the 2025 SL9 record, and the sentiment correction restores exact-coffee evidence standards.

What you might taste

SEY reports ripe nectarine, wildflowers, blueberry, and honey.

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.
