Why some details are blank
  • exact variety genetic fingerprintSEY uses SL9* as a provisional working name; the material resembles SL09 but has no exact reference match and is not Gesha.
  • roast levelSEY does not publish a conventional roast-level label for this exact release; a retailer category was not substituted for a roaster specification.
  • gradeNo formal green-coffee grade is published for this exact release.
  • roast dateNo single roast date can be established for the canonical release; a reseller's dated bag was not generalized to the whole product.
  • public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent firsthand tasting review was found for the exact release.
  • owner tasting observationsNo owner tasting observations, approval, or score are recorded for this coffee, so none were created.

From the producer

Samuel and Mario Muriel are second-generation producers at Los Cedros in Inkawasi, Cusco. Their steep high-elevation farm is surrounded by cedar trees that provide shade and organic matter.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based micro-roastery known for its light-roast, fruit-forward style and commitment to sourcing complex, high-quality coffees from named producers.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A high-elevation Inkawasi separation that documents Peru's provisional SL9 identity without mislabeling it as Gesha, paired with a precise 32-hour washed protocol.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact lot

Rechecked SEY's exact archived release for Samuel and Mario Muriel, Los Cedros, Inkawasi/Cusco, 2,080 m elevation, December 2025 harvest, processing, and roaster-reported cup notes.

02
Preserved the provisional variety identity

Kept SL9* as SEY's provisional working identity and recorded the explicit evidence that it has no exact reference fingerprint and is not Gesha.

03
Classified the disclosed process

Recorded the lot as a traditional washed process: floated, same-day depulped, dry-fermented for 32 hours, washed, and raised-bed dried. No additive, inoculation, or anaerobic step is disclosed.

04
Structured the archived offer

Moved BeanHoard's exact archived $31 / 250 g offer into the structured price fields and reconfirmed sold-out status against current exact-product records.

What was added?

Structured USD price data, a traditional-process classification, refreshed availability verification, and an additional exact-product retailer source.

What wasn't added?

No formal grade, conventional roast level, roast date, owner tasting observation or score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

This keeps a provisional Peruvian variety from being mislabeled as Gesha and prevents seller/catalog evidence from being presented as independent tasting sentiment.

What you might taste

SEY reports tropical notes, subtle florality, and very high sweetness; these are roaster notes, not an owner tasting.

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 2026-11-05) 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 and catalog pages were used only for identity, price, and availability. Seller descriptions, directories, generic SEY commentary, and different coffees named Los Cedros were excluded from sentiment; no qualifying independent exact-release tasting review remained.
