From the producer

Victor Alfonso Bonilla is a coffee producer and certified Q Grader who became a quality analyst in 2013 before returning to production and establishing La Chorrera.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery that prioritizes complex, dynamic coffees and transparent supply chain relationships. They focus on light roasting profiles to highlight the specific characteristics of their sourced beans.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The locally named Aruzi variety is documented here, but its genetic identity remains unresolved. SEY suspects an Ethiopian-landrace connection while explicitly noting that the available sequencing results are too varied for a definitive conclusion.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact release

Matched the page to SEY's November 2024 La Chorrera Aruzi lot and kept it separate from the January 2025 end-of-season release.

02
Preserved lot-level processing

Retained SEY's exact 36-hour dry fermentation and 30-day raised-bed drying; Coffee Quest's shorter 15–18-day farm protocol is context only.

03
Preserved genetic uncertainty

Recorded Aruzi as the verified local name without presenting the suspected Ethiopian-landrace connection as established genetics.

04
Separated profile from review

Reconfirmed sold-out status but added no retail price, package weight, owner score, or public sentiment rating without exact evidence.

What was added?

Verified producer, farm, region, altitude, harvest, local variety name, exact-lot processing, sold-out status, and a clear lot-versus-farm process boundary.

What wasn't added?

No unverified retail price, bag size, conventional roast level, definitive genetic lineage, owner tasting score, or public sentiment score.

Why it matters

La Chorrera has multiple harvest passes and roaster releases; exact harvest and process boundaries prevent details from being blended across lots.

What you might taste

SEY reports lemon verbena, yellow watermelon, and peach.

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 2026-11-03) 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

Fresh exact-match searches required SEY as roaster plus Victor Alfonso Bonilla, La Chorrera, Aruzi, and the November 2024 harvest. The January 2025 SEY end-of-season lot and 2025 releases from Flower Child, Black Fox, and Hyperion were excluded. Catalog and farm pages were not converted into sentiment.

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.
