Takesi Geisha | Fourth Sunday of Advent

The name Mariana Iturralde brings to mind humbleness, respect for the craft, and limitless ambitions. It is not by accident that we find one of the world's best coffees at Finca Takesi.
Although the farm is situated in a small but absolutely perfect sweet spot to grow coffee, the craft is everything when it comes to cultivating the demanding Geisha variety. Unlike the rest of the nearby area, at elevations up to 2,200 meters, we find an excellent combination of rich humus soil and ideal weather conditions.
Spread across the steep mountainsides, Geishas thrive. Unlike some other varieties, you will find flower buds, blossoms, green cherries, and ripe cherries all on a Geisha tree at the same time. This means, during harvest, Mariana and her team visit each tree up to 14 times to pick only the perfectly ripe cherries.
What makes Takesi Geisha stand out is the unique combination of being exceptionally clean and delicate, yet bringing us an intense sweetness and high complexity in the aroma.
