Every link we could verify, traced in one place. Follow the chain as far as it goes — when the industry doesn't disclose a link, we say so instead of guessing.

From the producer

Alejandrina Maytan grows SL9* at Kukipata in the high-elevation Amaybamba area of Cusco. The precise genetic identity behind the SL9* working name remains unresolved; the site does not relabel it as Gesha.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery that focuses on a light, Nordic-style roast profile to highlight the natural, complex characteristics of their single-origin offerings.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY's final Peruvian SL9* release of the season documents one of the distinctive high-elevation cultivar expressions emerging from the remote Amaybamba valley.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Core traceability connected

Connected the existing Cusco region, Kukipata farm, Alejandrina Maytan producer, SL9, and Washed records.

02
Release protocol documented

Added the November 2025 harvest, 2,280-meter elevation, 32-hour wet fermentation, washing, and raised-bed drying to 10.5% moisture.

03
Catalog facts cleaned

Removed the placeholder null tasting note and replaced the unsupported 2,000-meter value with the exact release's 2,280 meters; added the archived $30.50/250g price and sold-out status.

What was added?

Verified region, farm, producer, SL9 relation, washed process, elevation, harvest, fermentation, drying, price, bag size, availability, and tasting notes.

What wasn't added?

No roast level, public sentiment score, or original tasting score was added because the exact release does not disclose a roast category and no qualifying independent exact-release tasting review was found.

Why it matters

The profile now identifies the exact Peruvian site, producer, cultivar, and post-harvest protocol instead of relying on a generic Cusco description.

What you might taste

SEY lists yellow tropical fruit and strawberry with a soft, lifting acidity; these are roaster-provided notes, not our tasting result.

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. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.
