Panama — Bonita Springs Provenance Our second release in a series of exceptional coffees marking 10 years of Assembly. After beginning the campaign with Finca Deborah Echo Geisha, we wanted the next coffee to show a different side of this origin. Bonita Springs, in the Volcán Barú region, does exactly that. This SL28 delivers juicy red fruit and floral notes – a clear example that Panama’s future in specialty coffee extends beyond Geisha. Explore our full 10-Year series. Process This lot is produced using a traditional, low-intervention natural method, referred to by the family as their ‘winey’ process to distinguish it from larger-scale naturals common elsewhere. Only fully ripe cherry is harvested and dried on raised beds, with frequent raking to ensure consistent, even drying and controlled fermentation. The variety is SL28 – originally developed in Kenya and prized in specialty coffee for its structure and fruit-forward qualities. Grown here in Panama’s Volcán Barú region, it retains that vibrancy while taking on a softer, rounder sweetness. The result is a clean, well-structured cup with orchard fruit, subtle florals and a velvety mouthfeel.
