Story: Altieri Specialty Coffee was founded by Eugene Altieri, an Italian American businessman residing in Panama since 1973 who bought two farms in Boquete 15 years ago, without knowing the farm’s potential for growing specialty coffee. After fifteen years of coffee growing and earning various awards throughout the years, his children are following his legacy working together to expand the Altieri Specialty Coffee brand.

The coffee cherries are manually selected and cleaned to make sure they are completely mature. The coffee cherries are pulped to remove the fruit layer and keep the mucilage layer. The fermentation occurs in a 24 hour tank full of water. Tiny micro organisms generate enzymes to help break down the mucilage. After the fermentation, the beans are washed to remove the mucilage from the bean. In the final stage, the parchment is later sun dried on African beds at 1,800 masl until 11% humidity is achieved. Parchment is mechanically removed and afterwards, the beans are placed in our controlled temperature warehouse for resting in GrainPro bags.
