If you are a coffee lover, Boquete has a place in your heart!

You are invited to a journey into the specialty coffee world in one of the nicest coffee farms in Panama! Bonita Springs of the Miro Family provides beautiful specialty coffees to many international roasters and baristas. You will have exclusive access to a real working farm, not a coffee museum or touristic display, but the Nitty-Gritty on how some of the most delicious coffee in the world is produced, processed and distributed for everyone to enjoy!
