From the producer

Fincas Del Putushio is a farm in the Loja region managed by the partnership of Pepe Jijón, his son Jose Jijón, and Francisco Vintimilla. The team focuses on cultivating high-quality varieties like Mejorado in the rugged, high-altitude landscape of the Equinoctial Andes.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery dedicated to sourcing and roasting complex, high-quality coffees while fostering long-term relationships throughout the supply chain. They focus on highlighting the unique aromatics and acidity profiles of their producing partners' harvests.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A hand-assembled selection of the best coffees from Putushio's second 2026 harvest pass, produced at unusually high elevation by a documented three-person collaboration.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Matched the exact second harvest

Kept this 2026 assembled lot distinct from the first Putushio release, Finca San Pedro harvests, and other roasters' Jijón coffees.

02
Corrected the cup profile

Replaced inherited white-flower, green-apple, nectarine, and peach notes with the exact release's orange blossom, mandarin, and cooked pear.

03
Added the documented process

Recorded the two-day cherry hold, overnight dry fermentation, washing, and raised-bed drying.

What was added?

Loja relation Typica Mejorado relation 2,200 m elevation Second-harvest identity Full fermentation sequence Raised-bed drying Archived $50/250 g listing Four exact outside source URLs

What wasn't added?

Exact calendar harvest date Formal grade Numeric public sentiment score Original tasting score or verdict

Why it matters

The profile now represents the exact second-harvest assembled lot instead of inheriting descriptors from a different Putushio or Jijón release.

What you might taste

SEY publishes orange blossom, mandarin, and cooked pear; 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

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-26) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
