Why some details are blank

gradeThe exact SEY page does not publish a formal green-coffee grade.
roast levelSEY does not state a conventional roast-level category; Spro’s 3/5 is a roast classification, not a cup-quality rating.
retail priceSEY publishes farm-gate, FOB and DDP green-coffee pricing but the archived exact page does not expose a consumer bag price.
bag size gA retail package size was not verified from the exact primary release page.
roast dateIndependent discussions mention individual bag roast dates, but no single bag-specific date belongs to the database release record.
public sentiment ratingThree independent exact-release threads provide qualitative, conflicting reports without comparable numeric scores; Spro lists no reviews.

From the producer

Octavio Rueda is a producer in Palestina, Huila, whose Pink Bourbon has been purchased by SEY for several years. SEY separates his El Mirador coffees by harvest pass to track seasonal changes.

From the roaster

SEY presents this as the August 2025 second harvest pass from Octavio Rueda’s El Mirador.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is a separately documented second harvest pass from the El Mirador series, with a pomegranate, hibiscus, and lime profile that should not be blended with the new-season or third-harvest releases.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Separated the harvest pass

Matched this record to SEY’s August 2025 second-harvest release.

Corrected the farm identity

Disconnected Miller Bustos’s different El Mirador and linked the exact Octavio Rueda farm record.

Structured the process

Added Huila, Palestina, 1,830 meters, August 2025, Pink Bourbon, overnight cherry rest, 80-hour underwater fermentation, washing, drying to 10.5% moisture, and exact tasting notes.

What was added?

Exact farm, producer, region, elevation, harvest, variety, process, drying, taste, and primary-source provenance.

What wasn't added?

No inferred roast level, retail bag size, numerical public rating, or other harvest-pass details were added.

Why it matters

The release is now distinct from the new-season and third-harvest lots and no longer points to another producer’s farm.

What you might taste

Pomegranate, hibiscus, and lime, as reported by SEY.

Suggestions are selected from recently updated, published coffee profiles sharing documented origin, farm, producer, variety, process or tasting notes. This is a bounded discovery sample, not an exhaustive catalog ranking; availability is only a dated source observation.

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.
