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.
Finca La Soledad has been growing H1 Centroamericano since 2010, making it one of the first farms in Guatemala to plant this innovative F1 hybrid. Unlike traditional coffee varieties, H1 Centroamericano cannot be reliably reproduced from the seeds of its cherries because the next generation does not retain the same hybrid characteristics. Instead, every new H1 plant must be produced by carefully crossing its two parent varieties in a controlled breeding process or through advanced cloning techniques.

Altitude (MASL): 1,650 m.a.s.l.
Varieties: Caturra, Catuai, Bourbon, Java, Geisha, H1, Pache, ANACAFE 14, Pacamara

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 coffeeโs 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.
