About the farm:

This Catuai anaerobic slow dry comes from Altieri Specialty Coffee, a family-owned operation based in Boquete, Panama.

The Rola plot, where the coffee was cultivated, lies at 1750 masl and stands out within the Mima Estate for its full-day sun exposure — ideal for consistent, slow cherry maturation.

At the Alto Lino processing facility, cherries were first sorted by density using a mechanical siphon. They then underwent a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks, followed by slow drying on raised beds inside a greenhouse for 28 days.
