    The country
From the producer

Paxtle is a small group of farmers based in San Mateo on the western side of the Sierra Mazateca valley; this release combined high-scoring lots too small to export individually.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a contemporary micro-roastery based in Brooklyn, New York, focused on sourcing and roasting high-quality coffees.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This regional field blend keeps several tiny, high-scoring Paxtle lots together rather than assigning an unsupported single-farm identity.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified regional identity

Confirmed the Paxtle producer group in San Mateo, Yoloxochitlán, Sierra Mazateca, Oaxaca, at 1,700 m; no single farm or individual growers were assigned.

02
Confirmed composition and processing

Documented the Typica-and-Bourbon field blend, April 2025 harvest, 48-hour whole-cherry hold, 72-hour underwater fermentation, washing, and 20–25 days of raised-bed drying.

03
Added historical retail evidence

Recorded coffeeDB's exact sold-out consumer listing at $25 and Sigma's exact 250 g package listing. SEY's farm-gate, FOB, FOT, and DDP values remain identified as supply-chain prices, not consumer retail.

04
Corrected sentiment accounting

Retained one qualitative independent exact-release tasting. The exact retailer was not counted as an independent review, and no numerical public score was created.

What was added?

Historical $25 USD retail price, refreshed source trail, and corrected independent sentiment-source count.

What wasn't added?

No individual farm or grower, component percentages, categorical release-specific roast level, bag-specific roast date, original tasting score, or numerical public sentiment rating was added.

Why it matters

The profile now preserves the multi-producer identity, distinguishes consumer retail from supply-chain pricing, and counts only truly independent exact-release sentiment.

What you might taste

SEY lists baking chocolate, fresh strawberry, and honey; the one independent exact-release tasting described the coffee as very tasty and complex.
