Altieri Alessa [Geisha Natural RFF5]

About This Coffee

Nestled at 1,980 meters above sea level, the Alessa plot is located in the heart of Mima Estate, on the slopes of the Barú volcano. This micro-plot of only 0.5 hectares lies on a rich volcanic soil, in a preserved environment, managed like a wild forest. Only 360 Geisha Green Tip coffee trees are grown there, offering extremely rare and exceptionally pure harvests. Harvested on April 10, 2025, this lot underwent controlled fermentation: the cherries were placed in GrainPro bags, immersed in the cold water of the river for five days (hence the name RFF5, which means River Flow Fermentation – 5 days), before a slow drying of thirty days in a room at a constant temperature of 18 °C and a humidity of 50%. This meticulous treatment gives the coffee a complex aromatic structure and exceptional clarity in the cup. This lot offers us an elegant cup with floral notes of jasmine, a lively acidity of lemon, fruity nuances of tropical fruits and blackberry.
