We are Altieri Specialty Coffee, a family owned group of coffee growing farms from Boquete in Panama. It is with great pleasure that we introduce you to our brand and invite you to taste our excellent Geisha, Typica and Catuai, and Caturra- Our processes vary between natural, washed and fermented coffees.

These prize-winning 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 and 2,200 meters above sea level, 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.

Altieri Specialty Coffee was founded by Eugene Altieri, an Italian-American businessman residing in Panama who bought the  farms, without knowing the potential for growing specialty coffee. After fifteen years of coffee growing and earning various awards, his children are following his legacy working together in order to expand the  Altieri Specialty Coffee brand.
