An Embrace of Boquete Terroir: Altieri Abbraccio — Finca La Valentina

Taking its name from the Italian word for "Embrace," Abbraccio is a collaborative project under the Altieri Coffee group built on the deep-rooted spirit of community within Panama’s specialty coffee industry. By uniting the harvests of neighboring producers with Altieri’s post-harvest expertise and operational precision, this project brings hidden gems to the world stage. This 2026 harvest lot hails from Finca La Valentina, cultivated by the Osorio Family at 1,500–1,675 masl in Los Naranjos, Boquete.

Pure Terroir Over Process: Classic Washed Precision

While Altieri’s mainline offerings are widely celebrated for their boundary-pushing fermentations, we deliberately selected this classic washed Geisha because nothing reveals true origin and terroir quite like a pristine washed process. At Finca La Valentina, only the ripest Geisha cherries are meticulously hand-picked and immediately transported to the wet mill to be depulped, cleanly washed, and dried on raised African beds—preserving the unadulterated voice of the land.

The Cup Profile & VIP Exclusive Release

This transparent approach allows the high-elevation Los Naranjos terroir and classic Geisha genetics to shine with remarkable clarity, poise, and elegance. (Insert specific cupping notes here once finalized) Secured in an extremely limited micro-allocation, we are debuting Finca La Valentina exclusively for our VIP Early Access members ahead of any public release.
