At Monogram, we believe that every cup of coffee tells a story. Behind the flavours and aromas is a narrative of dedication, passion, and meticulous care. Our commitment to bringing you the finest coffee has led us to the extraordinary Finca Takesi, a farm that produces some of the most remarkable coffee in the world. Our latest gesha from Finca Takesi is a true gem, and we can't wait for you to experience it for yourself.
Finca Takesi
Nestled high in the Bolivian Andes, Finca Takesi is a farm like no other. With elevations reaching up to 2,500 meters above sea level, it boasts one of the highest coffee-growing altitudes in the world. This unique location creates the perfect environment for growing coffee, where the cool mountain air slows down the maturation of the coffee cherries, allowing for the development of extremely complex flavours.
Finca Takesi is renowned for its commitment to quality and sustainability. The Ilturralde family are pioneers in implementing environmentally friendly practices, ensuring that their coffee production has minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem. The dedication to preserving the natural beauty of this region in Bolivia is evident in every aspect of their operation.
The Gesha Variety
Among the many treasures of Finca Takesi, the Gesha variety stands out as a true gem. Originally from Ethiopia, the Gesha coffee plant has found an ideal home in the fertile soils of Takesi. The high altitude, coupled with meticulous care and attention to detail, results in a coffee that is truly exceptional.
This summer, we are excited to be offering two screen sizes of this Takesi Gesha. When coffee is processed, the beans can be sorted by physical size, for quality or flavour purposes. At Finca Takesi, owner Mariana Ilturralde decided to separate the larger and smaller screen size of gesha as they discovered two equally excellent yet distinct flavour profiles. The larger screen size tastes more floral, with notes of jasmine, lemon blossom, and black tea, while the smaller screen size tastes more fruity, with notes of peach, orange blossom, and cane sugar. Experience vibrant florality, citrus undertones, and a rich sweetness that dances on your palate with every sip.
