From the producer

Armando Hurtado is a young producer based in Cusco who utilizes traditional organic farming practices to cultivate coffee in a highly biodiverse environment.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee highlights this selection for its remarkable complexity and layers of tropical fruit and florality, marking their second year of partnership with the producer.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee is produced by a young farmer in a biodiverse region featuring a waterfall on the property, and it is noted for its complex, floral, and tropical fruit profile.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Identity

Confirmed Armando Hurtado, Los Pinos, Pacaypata in Cusco, and the provisional SL9* designation.

02
Lot details

Confirmed 2,100 m, December 2025 harvest, 32-hour dry fermentation, raised-bed drying, and the exact-release tasting language.

03
Retail history

Recorded the archived $30/250 g format and sold-out status.

What was added?

Verified origin, producer, farm, provisional variety identity, harvest, altitude, processing, cup language, historical package price, and evidence limits.

What wasn't added?

No owner tasting, score, approval, roast date, or inferred roast level.

Why it matters

The update removes tasting notes from another release and distinguishes the provisional SL9 working identity from Gesha.

What you might taste

SEY lists tropical fruit and florality; these are roaster tasting notes, not our tasting observations.

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 2026-10-14) 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

Spro lists no reviews. BeanHoard and Cherrybook are catalogs, not cup ratings. Seller-hosted Shop ratings were excluded because the method requires independent exact-coffee sources.

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.
