INTRO A decade-anniversary release from Takesi, led by Mariana Iturralde — one of the world's most acclaimed producers, known for exceptional quality and truly unique terroir. Full-bodied, sweet, and elegant, with melon and peach sweetness layered under a bergamot brightness. In the cup: melon, bergamot, and peach.

THE PRODUCER Takesi, led by Mariana Iturralde, produces some of the world's best coffee, built on exceptional quality and a distinctive sense of terroir. This harvest marks a decade since the very first direct purchase from Mariana — ten years that have grown into a strong, proud partnership.

THE PROCESS This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — allowing Gesha's naturally elegant, full-bodied character to come through with clarity, built on Takesi's unique high-altitude terroir.

THE CUP Full-bodied and elegant — sweet melon and peach up front, with a refined bergamot brightness running throughout. A fitting tribute to ten years of partnership with one of the world's most celebrated producers.

About this variety

Coffees reported as Gesha or Geisha are often prized for a delicate, tea-like cup with lifted floral aromas and bright fruit. Jasmine, bergamot and peach are common reference points, but each lot can express them differently.

Why this one is different
  • Bolivia
  • Yanacachi
  • 1940-2300 masl
  • Washed

The reviewed Bolivian Geshas are delicate and highly aromatic, with white flowers, jasmine or lemon blossom, followed by peach and other yellow stone fruit. A silky feel and white-tea finish keep them light and precise. One lot uses cultured-yeast fermentation, so its exact expression still belongs to the producer and process rather than the variety alone.

Washed processing can make acidity and variety character easier to read, although fermentation and drying choices still matter.

Why the Gesha / Geisha name matters

These washed Geshas come from high-grown Bolivian farms at Finca Alasitas and in the Nor Yungas. Careful processing keeps their floral and stone-fruit character clear, while differences in farm, fermentation and elevation shape the final level of sweetness and perfume.

Identification note This context is based on two washed Bolivian lots. Their shared floral and tea-like character is useful guidance, but the exact genetics and a wider national style are not inferred from such a small set.

Classification Reported Gesha / Geisha

Technical lineage Gesha is an Ethiopian landrace name. These producer-identified Bolivian plantings are not automatically claimed as genetic matches to the Panamanian T2722 selection.
