From the producer

Mery Garcito produces coffee at Finca La Bendición in La Papaya, Saraguro, Loja Province, Ecuador. SEY introduced this December 2025 Mejorado as its first release from Mery. Mirra Coffee’s directly relevant listing for the same producer and farm says Mery runs the 0.75-hectare farm with her husband, Luis, and their two children, with roughly 2,000 Mejorado trees at 1,900 meters.

From the roaster

Sey is a contemporary micro-roastery based in Brooklyn, New York, focused on sourcing exceptional coffees from challenging regions.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee originates from the unique, canyon-like microclimate of La Papaya, which is known for producing highly distinct and compelling flavor profiles in Ecuador.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selection and sorting

Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove defects.

02
Depulping and fermentation

The selected cherries were depulped on the day of harvest and dry-fermented for 32 hours.

03
Washing and drying

The fermented coffee was washed and dried on raised beds.

What was added?

Nothing was disclosed as added during processing.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spice, flavoring, inoculated culture, or post-roast additive was disclosed.

Why it matters

The exact listing supports a conventional washed-process classification while preserving the disclosed 32-hour dry-fermentation detail.

What you might taste

SEY reports florality, fragrant lemongrass, yellow fruit, and excellent structure.

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

What we found

Exact seller and retailer listings verified offer details but were excluded from public sentiment. Non-exact, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were also excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.
