Bonita Springs, Panama (Natural) Specialty Coffee

I had the pleasure of visiting Bonita Springs farm back in January, and I must say, the landscape left me utterly captivated. It brought back memories of enjoying the delightful coffee from Finca Bonita several years ago, which was exceptional at the time. Now, I'm convinced it's even more outstanding.

The Miró family's dedication is truly remarkable, and it's heartening to see Yessie Hartmann, daughter of Ratibor and Tessie Hartmann, skillfully managing the farm. Spanning across 36 hectares of pristine coffee-growing land nestled in the heart of the Boquete valley, the farm is a haven abundant with water. It's graced by two rivers, four streams, five natural springs, and two enchanting waterfalls that gracefully weave through the land, enriching the soil and nurturing a diverse range of local flora and fauna. The valley's generous rainfall, coupled with its humid climate and the interplay of refreshing Atlantic winds and warmer Pacific breezes, gifts the property with a tapestry of distinctive micro-climates. Remarkably, this treasure trove is merely a 10-minute jaunt from the vibrant center of Boquete town.
 
Renowned for their natural-processed Catuaí and Caturra coffee beans, they're thrilled to expand their offerings, breathing new life into their coffee cultivation. Their recent ventures have seen the introduction of Pacamara, SL-28, Wush Wush, and Laurina varieties, complementing their cherished Catuaí / Caturra beans. Looking ahead, they eagerly anticipate diversifying their range further while steadfastly preserving the exceptional quality and distinctive flavors that stem from their one-of-a-kind terroir.
 
With all that said, I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire family: Pamela, Juan, Olmedo and Yessie. Your collective dedication and hard work are truly admirable.
