Why some details are blank
  • farm idThe release is named Yanacocha, but no source establishes an exact farm entity distinct from the existing Justina Ortiz Soncco Yanacocha record.
  • variety genetic identitySEY states that SL9 is a provisional working name because the exact genetic fingerprint is not in the global database; testing found no Gesha.
  • roast levelSEY does not publish a conventional roast-level label for this exact release.
  • green gradeNo formal green-coffee grade is published for this exact release.
  • owner tastingNo owner tasting observations, approval, verdict, or score are present; all owner-review fields remain untouched.
  • public sentiment ratingThe single qualifying exact-release independent report is qualitative and provides no coffee rating, so no numeric sentiment score is calculated.

From the producer

Lisbeth Quispe produced SEY's first documented selection from the remote Sandia Valley in Puno for the season.

From the roaster

SEY reports apricot, lychee, and Pink Lady apple and preserves SL9 as a provisional working name because the exact genetic fingerprint remains unresolved and contains no Gesha.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A first-for-SEY Sandia Valley selection that documents the producer, Puno origin, SL9 working identity, altitude, harvest, and full post-harvest protocol without treating SL9 as Gesha.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact release

Confirmed Lisbeth Quispe, Sandia Valley in Puno, 1,950 meters, November 2025 harvest, the provisional SL9 working identity, and sold-out status from SEY's exact release.

02
Documented commerce

Recorded the archived $30 USD / 250 g price and sold-out status from exact-release listings.

03
Removed a false farm association

Unlinked the Justina Ortiz Soncco Yanacocha entity because it is a different producer's 1,975 m farm and is not proven to be Lisbeth Quispe's named site.

04
Separated public sentiment

Recorded one exact-release independent brewer report as qualitative, mixed-to-positive evidence without converting it into a numeric score.

What was added?

No added flavoring is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No conventional roast label, exact genetic accession, fabricated farm entity, normalized public rating, or site-owned tasting score was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile retains the release's literal Yanacocha name and complete production details while preventing two producers' farm records from being conflated.

What you might taste

SEY lists apricot, lychee, and Pink Lady apple. One independent brewer reported Ceylon black tea, raw sugar, Pink Lady apple, and a silky body after finding the coffee difficult to dial for higher acidity.

Coffee profile

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.
