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 June 2025 new-season harvest pass from Octavio Rueda’s El Mirador.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is the first documented 2025 harvest pass in SEY’s seasonal El Mirador series, allowing its mango, strawberry, and hibiscus profile to be compared with later passes without treating them as the same lot.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest pass separated

Matched this record to SEY's June 2025 new-season release rather than the later El Mirador harvest passes.

02
Relationships verified

Confirmed Octavio Rueda, his El Mirador farm, Palestina/Huila, and the existing Pink Bourbon relationship.

03
Process documented

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

04
Price and status verified

Added the exact archived $25.50 retail price, confirmed the release is no longer available, and kept independent sentiment unscored.

What was added?

Water is used for flotation, underwater fermentation, and washing.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring, inoculated culture, or post-roast additions are disclosed.

Why it matters

Separating harvest passes prevents later El Mirador releases from being conflated with this June 2025 lot.

What you might taste

SEY lists mango, strawberry, and hibiscus.

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.
