From the producer

Silvia Herrera is a second-generation producer in Chiapas. Sightglass describes her as an award-winning young producer and its first individual producer partner in the region.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A limited natural Gesha from a named second-generation Mexican producer, with unusually complete official documentation for farm, place, altitude, process, roast, price, and flavor notes.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Matched the exact release

Confirmed Silvia Herrera, Finca San Luis, Ocozocoautla, Gesha, natural processing, and 1,650-meter elevation.

02
Corrected commercial facts

Changed the package from 340 g to the documented 10.9 oz (about 309 g) and marked the $45 release sold out.

03
Protected review integrity

Excluded Sightglass-hosted customer ratings from independent sentiment and left the coffee unscored by us.

What was added?

Exact farm, producer, region, altitude, variety, process, roast, price, package size, availability, tasting notes, official imagery, and a roaster-published V60 starting recipe.

What wasn't added?

No harvest, fermentation protocol, drying method, original tasting observations, or site score was invented. Seller-hosted customer ratings were not treated as independent sentiment.

Why it matters

The profile now separates verified primary-source specifications from independent review evidence and avoids converting seller-hosted ratings into an outside score.

What you might taste

Sightglass lists guava, persimmon, and milk chocolate.

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 2026-10-25) 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.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
