History

Eugene Altieri moved to Panama in 1973 and acquired two farms in Boquete, Mima and Pipim, approximately two decades ago without initial knowledge of their specialty coffee potential. Over the years, he developed the land into a recognized producer of award-winning coffee. The operation has since expanded under the leadership of his children.
