In honor of the 2025 competition season, we are releasing this rarity: an experimental dry-fermentation Geisha from the revered Altieri Estate and family. Nestled among the most expensive coffees in the world-often selling for $10,000/lb-is this plot of Geisha crop from the Altieri Estate. Panama Geisha grows extra slowly in their rich, proprietary volcanic soil, and this batch in particular received a unique dry fermentation treatment in the natural juices of the picked cherries before a new-age cryo-drying process. Complex in natural and dope in our cups - it’s what the coffee of tomorrow is all about.
(This is a very limited release, and like many Panama geisha's, it's extremely nuanced and takes a bit of effort to fully capture its beauty due to the sheer complexity of the terroir it grows in. Despite the price tag, we highly recommend wild experimentation in your brews and chosen brew method - this coffee can stun you in every way.
Please ensure you rest this coffee at least twenty days or more before consumption).
