Roast Level: Light
Bean Source Country: Bolivia
Process: Washed

I bought washed Gesha (screen size 15+) from the famed Takesi farm in Bolivia and roasted by Monogram in Canada. Getting 30% off during Black Friday moved this from the ‘I want’ to ‘can’t resist’ category, especially since Gesha from Finca Takesi (albeit roasted by Coffee Collective in Denmark) produced my favourite coffee from Bolivia in 2023. Initially, following the instructions from the roaster that it was good to brew a week off roast, this coffee was good but a little disappointing given the expectations I had for it. However, 3 weeks off roast this coffee really hit its stride, with the strongest fresh apricot note I have ever enjoyed in a coffee, along with lovely supporting notes of citrus and florals. This will be my favourite coffee from Bolivia in 2024 (and maybe also in 2025, as I was drinking this over the new year). Spectacular stuff.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Bolivia
While relatively limited in production volume, Bolivian coffee thrives in a cool climate and volcanic soil. The high altitude, often reaching 1,500 meters above sea level and beyond, contributes to a slower maturation process, allowing the flavors to develop more fully and resulting in a nuanced cup. This terroir gives Bolivian specialty coffee an exceptional taste, characterized by the harmonious blend of caramel, chocolate, and fruity undertones.
