Finca Alto Quiel / Mima Estates

This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.

The story

Eugene Altieri founded the family coffee business after acquiring the Mima and Pipim properties in Boquete. The second generation now works together to expand Altieri Specialty Coffee, and the estate's named lots honor members of the family; Luci is named for Eugene's granddaughter.

Challenges

No release-specific farm challenges are documented in the cited Klatch listing.

Innovations

For the Luci Cold Dry Fermentation lot, the estate combines four days of raised-bed drying, four days of anaerobic fermentation in GrainPro bags, and 32 days of controlled drying at 18°C and 55% relative humidity.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
