Finca Takesi’s plantation is located on the steep slopes of the Royal Mountain ranges of the Andes at an altitude of 1900 to 3200 masl and spread over 2,500 hectares of fertile land. This year Seven Seeds celebrates our 8th year of direct trade with Mariana & her team, one of five roasters in the world to hold this relationship. It’s something we savour and feel incredibly privileged to have. This highly regarded Geisha varietal has a track record of selling out within hours of release, so get in quick to avoid disappointment. 

The Geisha variety needs little introduction in the modern world of specialty coffee. In recent years it has been responsible for unprecedented success in multiple Cup of Excellence competitions, fetching some of the highest prices at auction ever recorded. It has also driven numerous winning presentations at top-level barista comps with its delicate florals, soft tropicals, and stunning tea-like qualities. There is no denying that when grown at altitude and processed well, Geisha will blow anything else clean off the cupping table. This year’s release from Finca Takesi is no exception. As usual, we’re in good company as one of only a handful of roasters worldwide with access to this stunning lot and the only roaster in Australia. The quality improves yearly, and we couldn’t be more excited to launch this again.
