This is our second year working with Hacienda Copey, our previous years' releases were Tiger Gesha and Takara Gesha - 2022 which quickly became crew favourites. 

Takara means Treasure in Japanese. When we cupped Takara Gesha for the first time, we immediately understood why their gesha has finished either #1 or #2 in the Cup of Excellence every year since 2017!
