From the highest coffee farm in the world comes their most prized variety - Gesha. Discover the elegance and enchanting flavours of this exceptional coffee, grown from the breathtaking hillsides of the Bolivian Andes.
Finca Takesi is renowned for producing some of the most delightful and sought-after coffees in the world, a result of the Ilturralde family’s hard work and dedication to their craft. There are few producers in the world that care as deeply for the farm and its people than Mariana Ilturralde, and it shows in the cup. Mariana and manager Juan Condarco pour their expertise and care into every harvest. The extreme altitude of Finca Takesi, perched high in the Andes, imparts a unique and complex flavour profile to our gesha, making it truly special. The challenging conditions slow the cherry maturation, enhancing the coffee's sweetness and complexity. Thanks to our exclusive Canadian partnership, Monogram Coffee is one of only seven roasters worldwide with the privilege to offer this rare treasure.
When coffee is processed, the beans can be sorted by physical size, for quality or flavour purposes. At Takesi, Mariana decided to separate the larger and smaller screen size of gesha as they discovered two equally excellent yet distinct flavour profiles. This larger screen size tastes more floral, with notes of jasmine, lemon blossom, and black tea. Experience vibrant florality, citrus undertones, and a rich sweetness that dance on your palate with every sip. With elegant, intense flavours that drink with impossible clarity, Takesi Gesha is a symphony.
