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.

It is pretty common that roasters get stressed when it comes to roast more expensive, super high quality microlots, while chilling out and checking their emails roasting mild, lower-specialty beans. And it should be another way round! The rule of thumb: the better, sweeter, more complex and fancy coffee, the higher window of success it probably has. Don’t sweat it too much, just focus on the roast and try to achieve your desired roast time and color. Pick your starting point according to the processing and origin of the coffee.

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.

This Geisha from Finca La Soledad is a classic expression of the variety, showcasing the floral elegance, vibrant acidity, and refined sweetness that have made Geisha so sought after. The cherries are depulped and fermented for 70 hours in a dry tank before being thoroughly washed and dried on raised beds for 14 to 20 days. This is a true nano lot, with each daily harvest producing just two bags. For the past seven years, Jola has overseen the quality control of every coffee produced at Finca La Soledad and El Llano, following each lot from harvest through processing.

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.
