Eugene Altieri • Natural-Processed Catuai

Sagebrush has practically grown up alongside the Altieri family. Both Sagebrush and the Altieri family farm gained traction around the same time and we have been buying from them for around a decade now. Every year we snag a lot of either their caturra or catuai and this year we went with a natural process catuai. In April of 2025, the Kellso family had the opportunity to enjoy some time with the Altieri’s in Boquete Panama, where we spent an afternoon cupping their coffees and enjoying a lunch together. It was awesome hearing about Eugene’s story regarding his farm and it makes us that much more excited to feature his coffees. This specific coffee has a nice, smooth sweetness with a smooth mouthfeel. A developed sugar note sits next to some complex floral and tea like complexity.
