From the producer

Rolando Ramirez produced this El Mirador Gesha in Santa Teresa, La Convención, Cusco.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery focused on sourcing dynamic, complex coffees through transparent supply chain relationships.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A 2,000 m washed Gesha from SEY’s first substantial buying exploration of Santa Teresa near Cusco. SEY publishes an unusually transparent green-coffee price chain for this lot: approximately USD 31.66/kg farm gate, USD 38.53/kg FOB and USD 41.23/kg delivered-duty-paid.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Ripe selection

Peak-ripe cherries were hand-picked and floated to remove defects.

02
Same-day depulping and fermentation

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

03
Raised-bed drying

SEY states that the coffee was dried on raised beds; the drying duration and endpoint are not published.

What was added?

No fruit, spice, flavoring ingredient or microbial inoculant is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No co-fermentation adjunct or post-roast flavoring is documented.

Why it matters

SEY labels the coffee washed, but the detailed sequence does not state a separate washing step after fermentation. That omission is preserved rather than filled by assumption.

What you might taste

SEY reports white florals, tea and ripe stone fruit.

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 2026-11-06) 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

BeanHoard, BeanBook, Bag Coffee, Waveform, Lot & Origin, Sigma Coffee and other results are catalog, archive or retailer records. BeanBook adds a light-roast label and generic SEY recipes without an exact official release citation; Bag Coffee conflicts with SEY by listing SL-9 rather than Gesha. Cherrybook’s evidence-quality index is not a cup score. None qualifies as an independent exact-release tasting review.
