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 a separately released third harvest from Octavio Rueda’s El Mirador, harvested in December 2024.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This distinct third-harvest release shows a broader fruit profile than the other documented passes and preserves its exact December 2024 harvest date rather than assuming the year from the product title.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Kept the harvest pass exact

Matched the profile to the December 2024 third harvest rather than SEY’s later same-name September 2025 release.

02
Verified the producer and farm

Retained the exact Octavio Rueda and El Mirador relationships in Palestina, Huila.

03
Structured the lot process

Recorded the overnight cherry rest, 80-hour underwater fermentation, washing, raised-bed drying, and 10.5% endpoint.

04
Separated catalog evidence from tasting evidence

Added the captured $24.75 retail price while excluding seller-hosted and directory signals from public sentiment.

What was added?

Exact harvest-pass context, structured editorial sections, archived retail price, current availability verification, and explicit evidence boundaries.

What wasn't added?

No formal grade, US bag weight, conventional roast level, house score, or public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile distinguishes this December 2024 harvest from a later release with the same harvest-pass name and keeps catalog evidence separate from tasting evidence.

What you might taste

Tropical fruit, mango, pomegranate, and hibiscus, as reported by 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 2026-10-25) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
