Takesi Peaberry

Roasted August 14, 2026

For the past eight years, we've had the privilege of working with the legendary Mariana Iturralde and her team at Finca Takesi (Agro Takesi), building a relationship centred around quality, innovation, and a shared passion for extraordinary coffee. Their dedication has made Takesi one of the world's most respected coffee farms, and we're honoured to be the only Canadian roaster, and one of just six worldwide, trusted to share these remarkable coffees.

Producing at the highest coffee farm in the world is an incredible undertaking. The combination of steep mountain slopes, cool alpine temperatures, and a long growing season creates extraordinary coffees, but it also demands extraordinary care. Every harvest is the result of years of experience, continual experimentation, and an unwavering commitment to quality from Mariana and her team.

Peaberries occur naturally in only a small percentage of coffee cherries, making this an exceptionally rare expression of an already extraordinary gesha variety. With the elements of a gesha’s celebrated floral notes and sweetness, this coffee brews a refined and memorable cup.

Produced by Mariana Iturralde in the Yungas region of Bolivia, this Takesi Peaberry represents a unique expression of the Gesha varietal. Peaberries, which occur when only one seed develops inside the coffee cherry instead of the usual two, are often sought after for their distinct density and concentrated flavor profiles. When roasted by Dayglow, this specific lot highlights the inherent characteristics of the plant, showcasing delicate floral notes and a refined sweetness.

While every harvest is unique, the Gesha varietal is widely prized in the specialty industry for its tea-like clarity and complex aromatic profile. To better understand the nuances found in this Bolivian offering, tasters may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the specific floral and sweet descriptors present in the cup. This coffee serves as a compelling example of the meticulous cultivation practices currently emerging from the high-altitude landscapes of the Yungas.
