Origin Story

What do you get when you take the world's most elegant coffee cultivar to a celebrated coffee region in Guatemala and put it in the hands of a family who knows what to do with it? La Soledad Geisha, a memorable coffee that reflects the hallmark flavors of the cultivar, the terroir of its origin, and the craft of its growers. The Pérez family has been growing coffee at La Soledad, in the volcanic soils of the Acatengango Valley, since 1895. This Geisha lot is an expression of that heritage and the commitment to quality of the fifth-generation growers managing the farm today.
