At Finca La Bonita, producer-couple Rogelio and Leidy Johanna Espinosa cultivate Java and Gesha coffee trees. Ever since they bought the farm, they've been interested in growing and processing coffee of high quality. They instruct pickers to pick only the ripest cherries, and during initial sorting the cherries are meticulusly picked to ensure that there are no underripe over overripe cherries. The coffee is then processed on the farm to ensure consistency and raked frequently to ensure even drying.

The Gesha variety originates from the Gori Gesha forest in Ethiopia and was exported to South America in the 60s. It was first distributed under the name T2722 and marketed for its resistance to Coffee Lead Rust. It didn't catch on because of its brittle branches. It wasn't until 2005 when a gesha won "Best of Panama" and set a new record for green coffee price that people understood the true potential of this delicate variety. It's now one of the most sought-after and expensive coffees in the world, setting new price records every year. It's known for its delicate florals, stone fruit and tropical fruit notes.
