Shaped by the growing conditions at what is quite possibly the world’s highest coffee farm, Finca Takesi’s Geisha develops through slow, steady ripening and meticulous picking and processing. In the cup, it is floral and complex, with lively bergamot aromatics and sweetness reminiscent of fresh fruit sorbet.

In a narrow fold of the Bolivian Andes, Finca Takesi rises to extreme heights. At this altitude, coffee is not expected to grow, let alone thrive. The Iturralde family, stewards of Finca Takesi, consider it the highest coffee farm in the world. We have yet to find evidence to the contrary. More than a point of pride, this claim helps set the stage for what makes this coffee so distinctive. The extreme growing conditions lead to slow, steady ripening of the Geisha cherries, which are meticulously picked and processed to preserve both the variety's prized elegance and the distinct expression of the farm's unique terroir. It is a truly remarkable coffee, and one we look forward to offering each year.
