Altieri ALE Washed Geisha offers a refined and expressive cup, featuring delicate jasmine florals, crisp green apple, and sweet apricot and pear notes. Its medium body and balanced acidity highlight the elegance and complexity of this high-grown Geisha.

This coffee is processed using the washed method, where ripe cherries are carefully handpicked, depulped, and fermented before being fully washed and slow-dried under controlled conditions. This approach preserves the clarity and brightness of the Geisha varietal while enhancing its natural sweetness and floral notes.
