Finca Bonita Springs lies in Panama’s lush Alto Lino region, where the Miró family has cultivated coffee for over 80 years. The farm is managed by Yessie Hartmann, a fourth-generation member of the renowned Hartmann family, who has played a key role in elevating the farm's high-quality coffee production.

Bonita Springs covers 36 hectares of nutrient-rich land nourished by rivers, streams, and natural springs. The farm experiences a rare mix of cool, misty Atlantic winds, warm Pacific breezes, and consistently high humidity. This interplay of elements creates a patchwork of natural microclimates - ideal for growing distinctive, high-quality coffee.

After picking, the cherries are first fermented for 36 hours and then slowly dried on raised African beds for 2-3 weeks. Once the moisture content reaches 13 - 14%, the coffee is rested for several weeks to allow internal moisture to stabilise. After this resting phase, the coffee is transferred to a dark, humidity-controlled room for final drying until it reaches 10.5% moisture.

The end product delivers a balanced cup full of ripe berry sweetness - a great coffee for filter brews and a lighter espresso.
