GESHA – CHOMBI LOT (GL-F-CHOMBI-122126) – ALTERI

Variety: Gesha
Lot: GL-F-Chombi-122126
Producer: Alteri
Farm: Mima Estate
Location: Volcán, Chiriquí Province, Panama
Altitude: 1,700 – 1,900 masl

Process: Washed

Processing details:

  • Ripe Gesha cherries are selectively handpicked at peak maturity and floated to remove any underripe or defective beans.
  • The cherries are pulped and undergo a clean, controlled fermentation in tanks for 24 hours to break down the mucilage while preserving the variety's delicate floral clarity.
  • Following fermentation, the parchment coffee is thoroughly washed with pure mountain spring water.
  • The beans are dried slowly on raised beds under shade to ensure even moisture reduction and lock in vibrant acidity and sweetness.

We taste: A crystalline and floral Gesha with delicate aromas of jasmine and bergamot, layered with notes of white peach, bergamot, and honeyed sweetness leading to a crisp, tea-like finish.

Description

The Altieri family has been producing specialty coffee in Boquete, Panama, for over two decades, with farms on the slopes of Volcán Barú. Chombi is a small, high-altitude plateau on Mima Estate, where the Gesha grows under the shade of guava trees and cedars. Altitude, microclimate and careful processing give this lot the conditions to express its variety with clarity and precision. Gesha originates in Ethiopia and is named after the village of Gesha. It was Panama that brought it international fame in the 2000s, and it has since become the benchmark variety of the country. Today it is one of the most sought-after coffees in the world. This washed lot from Chombi is a classic example, not relying on intensity alone but on detail, clarity and the way everything evolves in the cup. In the cup, it is a crystalline, floral Gesha with delicate aromas of jasmine and bergamot, layered with white peach and a honeyed sweetness that leads to a crisp, tea-like finish. Thank you to the Altieri family for this impressive Gesha.

Brewing Notes

This coffee is easy to brew. We recommend allowing the beans to rest for at least 14 days to 21 days from the roast date to reach peak flavor. 

We recommend a coarser grind and a ratio between 1:16 to 1:17. Aim for lower extraction to prevent those lovely delicate floral aromas
