About the Farm and Producer

Bonita Springs is a 36-hectare farm in Alto Lino, Boquete, owned and operated by the Miró family for more than 80 years. Rivers, streams, and natural springs run through the property, while cool Atlantic air and warmer Pacific breezes contribute to its varied microclimates.

In 2017, Arturo and Olmedo Miró added processing and drying facilities as part of the farm's shift toward specialty coffee. Coffee grows among citrus trees, and renewed plantings have expanded its offerings to include Wush Wush, Pacamara, SL28, and Laurina.

About the Variety

Wush Wush is an Ethiopian variety associated with the Wushwush area in the country's southwest. Now also cultivated in Colombia and Panama, it is one of the varieties Bonita Springs has introduced as the farm broadens its specialty coffee production.

Processing

Ripe coffee cherries are selected and dried whole on raised beds, with regular turning to help them dry evenly. After drying, the fruit is removed. This lot's tasting notes are candied orange, chicha morada, and pineapple.
