Panama Altieri Chombi Geisha Natural Anaerobic Slow Drying Coffee

The varietal geisha has won numerous coffee tasting awards in recent years and is creating a high demand for the coffee at auctions.

These prize-winning coffees are grown on the Eastern slope of the Baru Volcano, surrounded by the virgin cloud forests of the Baru Natonal Park in an area known as Callejón Seco. This area consists of volcanic soil, drained on the slope of the volcanic mountain, at an altitude where winds from the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans collide creating microclimates different from the rest of the country.

Founded by Eugene Altieri, an Italian-American businessman residing in Panama who bought the farms. After 15 years of coffee growing and earning various awards, his children are following his legacy.

This lot was cultivated at an altitude of 1,850 masl and underwent an anaerobic fermentation for 5 days in plastic sealed tanks, without adding water or any artificial yeast. The drying process was done under partial shadow for 21 days on African beds.

This prize-winning lot is arranged by our dear friends the Altieri family.
