From the producer

Miguel Dota is a producer based in the Saraguro region of Ecuador who is working closely with the roaster to develop high-quality micro-lots.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roaster focused on sourcing unique, high-quality coffees through direct relationships, often highlighting specific producers and regions.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee is part of a collaborative project in the Saraguro region aimed at developing micro-lots, highlighting the distinctive profile of the Sidra variety in a challenging growing environment.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Selection and sorting

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

Depulping and fermentation

The sorted cherries were depulped and dry-fermented for 24 hours.

Washing and drying

The coffee was washed and dried on raised beds for 15 days.

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 traditional washed classification with a documented fermentation time and drying duration.

What you might taste

SEY reports rose hips, hops, and ripe strawberries.

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 2026-11-04) 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

Exact seller/catalog evidence was used only for release identity, price, package, availability, and roast classification. Cherrybook’s CBI is explicitly an evidence-of-quality index, not a cup score, so it was not converted into public sentiment. RoastDB was excluded because its Mejorado-and-Sidra details conflict with SEY’s exact 2026 Sidra listing and appear to conflate the distinct 2025 release. Other-roaster Miguel Dota releases were excluded.

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.
