The Altieri family operates farms in the Boquete region of Panama, utilizing high-altitude microclimates and volcanic soil to produce prize-winning specialty coffees. The estate is managed with a focus on meticulous care and quality to highlight the unique characteristics of their land.
Klatch offers this 170 g medium-light Geisha as a limited Thursday-roast release and attributes its Cold Dry Fermentation protocol to the Altieri family.
A single-plot Green Tip Gesha with an unusually transparent cold-dry protocol. Coffee Review scored Klatch’s 2025 release 94/100; the historical outside score remains separate from the current profile and from our own unscored tasting field.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
The harvested cherries are taken to Alto Lino the next morning and floated to remove low-density fruit.
Whole cherries spend four days on African beds until they reach about 40% humidity.
The partially dried cherries spend four days sealed in GrainPro bags for anaerobic fermentation.
The coffee dries for 32 days at 18°C and 55% relative humidity before resting under controlled conditions.
No fruit, spice or flavoring is disclosed; the intervention is controlled drying and anaerobic fermentation.
No co-ferment ingredient or post-roast flavoring is reported.
The process is intended to amplify fruit and florals while preserving the cleaner character of the estate's natural Geisha.
Honeysuckle, jasmine, passionfruit, papaya, kiwi and green grape; the separate 2025 Coffee Review assessment emphasized tangerine, chocolate fudge, narcissus and agave syrup.

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.
This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.
Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
What the internet is saying about this coffee
AI-synthesized from publicly available information retrieved 2026-10-26. This is research, not our original tasting review.
One verified independent exact-product professional review scored Klatch’s 2025 release 94/100. It is retained only as historical context for that release, not as a score for the current crop or an original site tasting.
Coffee Review praised briskly sweet acidity, a plush syrupy mouthfeel, and a long multilayered finish.
No negative observation was published in the qualifying professional review; the evidence is one historical exact-release source.

Other roasters, same producer.
These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
