La Soledad, Guatemala

La Soledad, owned by the Perez family since 1895, sits atop volcanic soil in Acatenango in the mountain range of Sierra Madre. The unique terroir mixes with warm, moist air from the nearby Pacific Ocean to create a nuanced cup. 

La Soledad is 222 acres, half being natural forest which the Perez family maintains. After being affected by leaf rust in 2011, La Soledad decided to plant new varieties. This variety, H1 Centroamericano, is a cross between the disease resistant Sarchimor and Rume Sudan. Originating in Sudan, it's low yielding with unique flavor. The coffee trees are fairly heavily shaded with soil-enriching leguminous trees. 

La Soledad, named after Soledad del Carmen, is now run by Henio Perez and his son Raul. They work to continuously improve their product. Raul samples roasts on the farm and cups all the lots in his own cupping room on the premises. 

Dry fermentation is used on this coffee due to the intense acidity, which can only be appreciated on a clean and transparent washed coffee, the signature of La Soledad. 

If you wish to receive a grind other than whole bean, please include the request during the checkout process.
