From the producer

Diana Arboleda Tabares is the producer associated with this specific lot from Finca La Esperanza.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee describes this as a limited release light roast that showcases the exceptional, intense, and soft qualities of the Chiroso variety.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A first-year SEY lot from Diana Arboleda Tabares's small Urrao farm, documenting a precise Chiroso process and correcting an unrelated same-name Tolima farm association.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Corrected the farm identity

Removed the relation to William Buitrago and Aminta Mahocha Franco's unrelated La Esperanza in Tolima. Diana's farm is a separate two-hectare La Esperanza in San Carlos, Urrao.

02
Added the exact 2026 protocol

Documented the May harvest, 24-hour cherry hold, 2–3 day underwater fermentation, washing, and 8–12 day cajón drying.

03
Separated source notes from our review

Kept SEY's tropical-fruit, bright-acidity, and floral descriptors clearly labeled as roaster notes.

What was added?

Antioquia relation San Carlos/Urrao location 1,800 m elevation May 2026 harvest Full fermentation sequence 8–12 day cajón drying Archived $26/250 g listing Four exact outside source URLs

What wasn't added?

Incorrect Tolima farm relation New farm entity Formal grade Numeric public sentiment score Original tasting score or verdict

Why it matters

The profile no longer sends readers to a different producer's same-name farm and now carries the exact Urrao harvest and processing details.

What you might taste

SEY publishes tropical fruit, very bright acidity, and florality; these are source 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

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.
