Eugene Altieri

Eugene Altieri produces coffee in the Boquete region of Panama, with cultivation taking place at high altitudes ranging from 1700 to 2300 meters. This geographic setting provides the cool temperatures and specific microclimates associated with high-grown specialty coffees in the region. The varietal portfolio is dominated by Geisha, which accounts for the majority of the indexed coffees, alongside smaller representations of Caturra and Catuai. Processing methods used across the catalog include washed, natural, and anaerobic natural preparations. The producer utilizes both traditional washed and sun-dried natural methods alongside controlled anaerobic fermentations, particularly for their Geisha lots. The catalog footprint includes eight total coffees indexed from Eugene Altieri, with two currently in stock. Four different specialty roasters carry these lots, and the average Cherrybook Index (CBI) across their offerings is 62.0. Recent catalog entries reflect this variety and processing range, including the Panama Altieri Estate Geisha ASD Natural roasted by Proud Mary Coffee, the Panama Altieri Estate Chombi Geisha Washed also from Proud Mary Coffee, and the Panama Geisha from Dragonfly Coffee Roasters. Sagebrush Coffee has also featured Eugene Altieri lots, including natural-processed Catuai and washed-processed Gesha and Caturra selections. The catalog data highlights a strong emphasis on the Geisha variety paired with both traditional and experimental processing styles, distributed across multiple specialty roasters.
