Our coffee flavor profiles may vary as we consistently re-evaluate the quality of our coffees. Please keep in mind that coffee is an agricultural product, and its flavor notes can naturally evolve over time. Also, please remember that taste, especially in the context of such fragile product like coffee, is highly subjective! Our flavor notes reflect our individual interpretations during QC and shall be considered as guidance towards flavor groups rather than rigid and unquestionable coffee’s properties.

Our Acatenango coffees usually tend to be pretty dense and compact. They ‘like’ more aggressive energy at the beginning of the roast compared to many other coffees, given that you want to achieve a similar roast time. Watch out for significant RoR crashes after the first crack – make sure you go into the development time phase with a relatively high energy as well.

Please note this is a general, not a specific tip. Each coffee tends to behave a bit (or a lot!) differently and should be approached individually. We highly recommend working with a colorimeter machine. Your local data, depending on your grinder, grind size and the way you prepare coffee surface for measurements, will be the most precise tool for your QC routine aside from cupping.

Bourbon is one of Guatemala’s most iconic coffee varieties, celebrated for its exceptional sweetness, balance, and elegant cup profile. It also happens to be one of the earliest varieties to ripen, making it the first coffee picked each harvest at Finca La Soledad. Despite its reputation for quality, Bourbon is becoming less common as many producers replace it with higher-yielding, more disease-resistant varieties. That’s what makes this lot so special: a classic Guatemalan Bourbon that continues to showcase why this historic variety has earned its place among the country’s finest coffees.

La Soledad

Finca La Soledad has been part of the Perez family for five generations. The farm is located in the green heart of Acatenango region. Its unique microclimate and rich volcanic soil makes it a perfect combination for growing high quality coffee with a very distinct profile.

Henio and his two sons, Raul and Jose have been working together with a focus on constantly developing and improving their processing standards to achieve the coffee’s maximum quality potential.

They have been able to set high standards and examples not only for the Guatemalan coffee producers and coffee community but also share their knowledge with coffee roasters from around the world.
