Mariana Iturralde (Takesi)

Description

Roasted August 14, 2026

Our strong relationship with Mariana Iturralde and her team at Finca Takesi has grown over the past eight years through a shared belief that remarkable coffee begins with remarkable people. Their commitment to quality, sustainability, and continual innovation has helped establish Takesi as one of the world's most celebrated coffee farms. Today, Monogram is honoured to be the only Canadian roaster, and one of just six worldwide, with access to these exceptional coffees.

Producing coffee at the highest elevation farm in the world is no easy feat. Every harvest is shaped by cool temperatures, dramatic mountain terrain, and a growing season unlike almost anywhere else. The result is coffee with extraordinary sweetness, clarity, and complexity that reflects both the unique environment and the dedication of the people who care for it.

Yellow Catuai has become one of Takesi's classic varieties, known for its dependable sweetness, balance, and versatility. This washed lot showcases those qualities beautifully, offering a refined expression of the variety with the elegance and clarity that make Takesi so distinctive.
