Why some details are blank

farm idSEY verifies Miguel Dota’s sub-one-hectare farm but does not publish its exact name, so no farm record was invented.
variety idThe exact lot combines Mejorado and Sidra while the structured field accepts one relationship; neither was arbitrarily preferred.
bag size gCherrybook lists 318 g, but no second exact-release source corroborated that unusual package weight.
roast levelSpro’s 3/5 catalog classification has no transparent conventional roast-category method, so it was not mapped to Light/Medium/Dark.
roast dateNo exact roast date was published for the archived release.
public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting score was verified; catalog and generalized roaster signals were excluded.

From the producer

Miguel Dota grows Mejorado and a small garden of Sidra on a sub-one-hectare farm in Saraguro, Loja. This was SEY’s second release from him.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery focused on sourcing dynamic, complex coffees through transparent, long-term relationships with producers.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A tiny mixed-variety lot from a sub-one-hectare farm, including Miguel Dota’s small Sidra garden, and SEY’s second release from the producer.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Matched the exact release

Verified the June 2025 Miguel Dota lot against SEY’s archived product page.

Preserved both varieties

Documented Mejorado and Sidra without forcing either into the single structured variety field.

Recovered historical retail price

Added the $30.50 price only after exact-release corroboration by coffeeDB, Cherrybook, and Moonoh.

Separated catalog evidence from sentiment

Recorded four independent exact-release catalog checks. Spro has no reviews and Cherrybook labels its 82 index as evidence-of-quality rather than a cup score, so no sentiment rating was created.

What was added?

Corroborated historical retail price plus refreshed exact-release evidence and provenance.

What wasn't added?

No invented farm name, artificial combined variety, uncorroborated package size, conventional roast level, house score, or public sentiment rating.

Why it matters

The profile now adds a defensible retail price while keeping mixed-variety identity and non-tasting catalog evidence separate from owner and public scores.

What you might taste

SEY reports matcha, mango, and ripe strawberries.

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

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
