From the producer

Victor Dota is a first-generation coffee producer managing a small garden of 400 Mejorado plants. His project is notable for its limited scale and the challenging environment for coffee cultivation in Ecuador.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee sources this lot as part of their commitment to highlighting small-scale, high-quality production in Ecuador. They emphasize the rarity of the Mejorado variety and the difficulty of sourcing from this region.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

SEY documents this as the last harvest of the season from Victor Dota’s 400-plant Mejorado garden. The coffee remains unreviewed and unscored by us.

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.

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.
