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.
Meet H1, a hybrid born from T5296 x Rume Sudan, crafted to be the ultimate combo: rust-resistant, high-yielding, and high-quality in the cup.
Planted at La Soledad approximately 10 years ago, H1 has consistently delivered excellent cup quality — clean, sweet, and structured. Its performance in blind cuppings has been notably consistent, with flavor clarity and balance as standout traits.
Key to quality: selective harvesting.
With H1, optimal cup quality is heavily dependent on precise picking — targeting peak ripeness (and even slightly beyond) is essential to maximize flavor development.
Fermentation: Longer than most — 45–50 hours dry in tank.
Drying: 14–17 days on patios.
A little high-maintenance, sure — but when you treat it right, H1 gives you a cup that’s worth every bit of extra effort.

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.
