Altieri Specialty Coffee is a family-owned group of coffee growing farms from Boquete in Panama, founded by Eugene Altieri, an Italian American businessman residing in Panama.
They produce varieties of Geisha, Typica, Catuai and Caturra. These coffees are grown on the Eastern slope of the Baru Volcano, surrounded by the virgin cloud forests of the Baru National Park, at a height of between 1,600 to 2,200 meters above sea level. 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.
After fifteen years of coffee growing and earning various awards, the second generation of the Altieri family are following Eugeneʼs legacy, working together to expand the Altieri Specialty Coffee brand.
