Takesi

For the past eight years, we've had the privilege of working alongside Mariana Iturralde and the team at Finca Takesi, building a relationship rooted in trust, curiosity, and a shared pursuit of extraordinary coffee. Founded with the ambitious vision of proving that Bolivia could produce some of the world's finest specialty coffee, Takesi has done exactly that. Today, Monogram is proud to be the only Canadian roaster, and one of just six worldwide, with access to these remarkable coffees.

Perched high in the Bolivian Andes, Takesi is the highest coffee farm in the world. The extreme altitude means coffee cherries ripen incredibly slowly, allowing more time for sugars, florals, and vibrant fruit character to develop. Producing coffee here demands extraordinary patience and dedication, but the result is unlike anything else. Under Mariana's leadership, Takesi's Gesha has become one of the most coveted coffees in the world, sought after by leading specialty coffee roasters and championship baristas alike for its remarkable elegance and unmistakable expression of place.

This Gesha is the heart of the 2026 Takesi Collection. Revered for its delicate floral aromatics, vibrant sweetness, and exceptional clarity, it showcases everything that makes both the variety and Finca Takesi so extraordinary. It's a coffee that represents years of innovation, an incredible partnership, and the very best of what Takesi has to offer.
