From the producer

Octavio Rueda produces Pink Bourbon at El Mirador in Palestina, Huila. SEY has purchased his coffee for several years and separates harvest passes to examine their seasonal and genetic expression.

From the roaster

SEY presents this as the later of two distinct same-title third-harvest releases: the exact -1 URL documents a September 2025 harvest and a pomegranate, hibiscus, and limeade profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY reused the release title, so exact URL and harvest-date matching are essential: this September 2025 lot is not the December 2024 coffee with tropical-fruit and mango notes.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Separated the same-title releases

Matched the -1 URL to SEY’s September 2025 harvest rather than merging it with the December 2024 release.

02
Corrected the cup profile

Replaced the earlier release’s tropical-fruit and mango notes with this exact lot’s pomegranate, hibiscus, and limeade.

03
Completed origin and processing

Added Huila, 1,830 m, September 2025, the overnight cherry hold, 80-hour underwater fermentation, washing, and raised-bed drying to 10.5% moisture.

04
Removed unsupported classification

Cleared the inferred Light roast label because SEY does not publish a conventional roast category for this exact release.

What was added?

Exact release disambiguation, verified harvest and altitude, complete process sequence, corrected notes, archived 250 g retail context, and evidence boundaries.

What wasn't added?

No US retail price, formal final lot grade, conventional roast level, bag-specific roast date, house score, or public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The exact URL proves that two records with the same display name represent different harvests and cup profiles, so both should remain separate.

What you might taste

Pomegranate, hibiscus, and limeade, 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 2026-10-27) 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

Seller, catalog, directory, roaster-level, different-harvest, and same-name December 2024 signals were excluded from exact public sentiment.

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.
