Five Senses has collaborated with Lost Origin Coffee Lab x Altieri Estate to bring you a seriously special release of whole coffee beans packaged in beautiful 100g cans this Christmas. Pushing the boundaries of coffee fermentation, Lost Origin Coffee Lab has used traditional beer brewing methods to create something innovative and unique. This de-pulped Panama Heirloom from Altieri Estate inoculated with Saison yeast and lactobacillus plantarum, delivers a truly unforgettable flavour profile of sparkling natural wine, forest berries & Christmas spices. Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand were added to stabilise the pH levels and extend the fermentation. The award-winning varietal was cultivated on the eastern slopes of the Barú Volcano, surrounded by the virgin cloud forests of the Barú National Park in Boquete, Panama.

--- What's In The Can? ~~~ 100g Whole Coffee Beans.

The Altieri Estate, located in the Boquete region of Panama, represents the meticulous cultivation standards found in this renowned coffee-growing landscape. This specific lot features the Heirloom varietal, a classification often celebrated for its genetic diversity and complex cup profiles. Roasted by Five Senses, the coffee is characterized by a distinct sensory experience that bridges traditional warmth with vibrant acidity.

When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often look to the flavor wheel to categorize the interplay between the deep, resonant notes of Christmas spices and the bright, effervescent quality of forest berries and sparkling natural wine. While Heirloom varieties are frequently prized for their nuanced character, the specific expression here highlights the unique terroir of the Altieri Estate. This selection offers a sophisticated balance, inviting drinkers to explore the intersection of regional tradition and careful roasting craft.
