From the producer

Edid Medina is a key member of the San Fernando Cooperative and a community leader whose experience in the cooperative has provided her with a deep understanding of coffee production and market dynamics.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing and roasting high-quality, dynamic, and complex coffees while fostering long-term relationships throughout the supply chain.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY’s first purchase from San Fernando Cooperative leader Edid Medina pairs a precisely documented high-elevation washed SL9 lot with a rare qualifying independent exact-coffee score.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
CONNECTED SL9

Linked the existing SL9 record while preserving SEY’s provisional genetic wording.

02
COMPLETED LOT DETAILS

Added exact harvest, elevation, in-cherry hold, fermentation, drying endpoint, retail price, and cup descriptors.

03
PRESERVED FARM UNKNOWN

Did not invent a farm name from Edid Medina’s cooperative membership.

04
ADDED ONE-SOURCE SENTIMENT

Normalized one independent exact-coffee 9.5/10 review to 95/100 with its URL and sample-size warning.

What was added?

SL9 relationship, November 2025 harvest, 2,241-meter elevation, detailed washed process, archived $27.50/250 g price, and one-source public sentiment.

What wasn't added?

No farm, drying duration, roast level, roast date, or broader consensus was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now separates SEY’s official cup description, one consumer’s exact-release rating, and Who Makes the Best Coffee’s still-unscored editorial status.

What you might taste

SEY reports strawberry preserves, sweetness, and softer acidity; the independent reviewer reported florals, tropical fruit, melon, and gentle citrus.

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

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.
