From the producer

Eugene Altieri produced this Rola Catuaí nano-lot on Mima Estate’s southeast-facing slope of Volcán Barú.

From the roaster

Klatch Coffee presents this as a current medium-light roasted Panama natural nano-lot.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The official release documents an exact Rola parcel identity and a staged 35-day drying/fermentation sequence without relying on the unsupported two-day fermentation previously recorded.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Float selection

Fresh cherry was floated to remove lower-density fruit.

02
Initial greenhouse drying

Cherry spent four days on African beds until it reached about 45% humidity.

03
Low-humidity fermentation

The coffee was sealed in GrainPro bags for three days.

04
Final drying

Cherry returned to greenhouse African beds for another 28 days.

What was added?

No adjuncts disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spices or flavorings disclosed.

Why it matters

The staged low-humidity rest and long drying period are intended to build fruit intensity while controlling moisture loss.

What you might taste

Blueberry, peach, Concord grape, sugarcane, blackberry, black cherry and black currant.

Coffee profile

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.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

Same coffee, different roaster?

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.
