Why some details are blank

process idThe exact Intelligentsia page and exact Cherrybook catalog do not disclose this release's post-harvest process. Washed descriptions for other La Soledad H1 or Geisha lots were excluded.
altitude mAlliance for Coffee Excellence gives Finca La Soledad a broad 1,460–1,720 m range, but the exact H1 SOE sources publish no lot elevation; farm-wide values were not assigned to the release.
harvestNo harvest window or crop year is published for this exact release.
fermentationNo exact-release fermentation method or duration is published.
drying methodNo exact-release drying method is published.
roast levelIntelligentsia's proprietary Comforting descriptor was not translated into a conventional light/medium/dark category.
public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting review was found; Cherrybook's index uses roaster-level and disclosure signals.

From the producer

The fifth-generation Pérez family manages Finca La Soledad in Acatenango. Intelligentsia traces the family’s coffee production there to 1895 and presents this release as a modern H1 single-origin espresso.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia offers this single-origin lot as part of their curated selection, highlighting the modern production methods employed by the Pérez family.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This release highlights Centroamericano H1, a high-yielding, rust-resistant F1 hybrid with strong high-altitude quality potential. Intelligentsia presents it as a single-origin espresso from a fifth-generation Acatenango farm.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified the exact release

The live Intelligentsia page confirms $27, sold-out status, H1, Finca La Soledad, the Pérez family, the proprietary Comforting descriptor, and lime, dried cherry, and cola.

Reconciled structured commerce fields

Filled the previously blank USD price fields with $27 and retained the exact 340 g format corroborated by Cherrybook.

Preserved variety and provenance boundaries

Kept the H1-to-Centroamericano relationship from World Coffee Research while treating the farm-wide elevation and a separate 2018 washed Geisha lot as context only.

Separated catalog evidence from sentiment

Used Cherrybook for exact catalog corroboration but excluded its roaster-level index from exact-coffee public sentiment.

What was added?

Structured $27 USD price, refreshed sold-out verification, current research dates, farm-context sourcing, clearer release boundaries, and explicit score provenance.

What wasn't added?

No exact-release process, lot elevation, harvest, fermentation, drying method, conventional roast level, owner tasting, approval, review date, ratings, house score, or public-sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now aligns its structured commerce fields with the exact listing while keeping other La Soledad lots and farm-wide facts out of this release's structured production data.

What you might taste

Lime, dried cherry, and cola according to Intelligentsia; these are roaster notes, not our tasting.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-02) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Cherrybook's exact catalog page corroborates $27, 340 g, sold-out status, Acatenango, the Pérez family, Finca La Soledad, H1, and the roaster's notes. Its index is driven by roaster-level YouTube and Reddit signals plus disclosure depth, not exact-release tasting reviews. H1 lots from other roasters and years were excluded.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
