BOLIVIA | Agro Takesi Geisha
■ FLAVOR COMMENT
The flavor profile is characterized by a beautifully bright aroma reminiscent of jasmine perfume, which can be enjoyed at high temperatures. You can savor the richness of AGROTAKESI's unique terroir and the pleasantly long-lasting aftertaste. It transforms into notes reminiscent of bergamot, muscat, and Earl Grey, revealing a different facet with each sip.
The acidity evokes the gentle and clear impression of Japanese citrus fruits such as yuzu and hassaku, and depending on the temperature, it transforms into an impression reminiscent of Jazz apples (small apples from New Zealand). Please enjoy this delicate, beautiful, and ever-changing taste experience, which can only be experienced with a limited quality of coffee, in the comfort of your own home.

■ INFORMATION
Known as a sky farm situated at an altitude of over 2,000m, AGROTAKESI Farm offers panoramic views of Bolivia's iconic 5,850m Murlata Mountain. In the local language, "Takesi" means "to awaken people," and the farm was named after the small path leading from Murlata Mountain to the Takesi Valley.
It is sometimes said that the beautiful flavors of specialty coffee are nurtured by the slow growth brought about by the temperature difference between day and night. The harsh climate of this farm is unparalleled, and it is known that the coffee takes 11 months to grow, 1.4 times longer than usual. High quality is ensured by harvesting only fully ripened red coffee cherries and processing them in small batches.
Although it is an environment where cultivation itself is normally difficult, the stones in the soil of the farm store the sunlight during the day as thermal energy, protecting the coffee trees from the harsh cold of the mornings and evenings, and allowing us to enjoy a beautiful flavor reminiscent of jasmine perfume.
