A Legacy Brewed Over Generations: The Solares Coffee Story

Our humble story begins in the small, rural town of Nueva Santa Rosa, Guatemala, where my great-great-grandfather, Dionicio Solares, and his wife Mariana made the first coffee harvest. Life was simple, resources were scarce, but what they lacked in wealth, they made up for in determination and love for the land.

Their son, Cipriano Solares, learned at his father’s side, absorbing every detail of the craft. In 1923, Cipriano and his wife Dominga expanded the family’s coffee dream by purchasing more land, Agressively increasing the harvest and laying the foundation for a lasting legacy.

The next torchbearer, my grandfather Emiliano Solares, carried that legacy forward with his wife, dedicating themselves to mastering organic methods to fertilize the soil, enriching the land to produce coffee with unparalleled flavors and aromatic depth.

In 1976, my father, Armando Solares, inherited not just knowledge, but a deep-rooted passion for coffee. He worked tirelessly beside his father until 1982, when he made the difficult decision to leave Guatemala in search of a better life in America. Yet, the pull of the land never left him, even from afar, he returned periodically to care for the farms, ensuring the fruits of his labor maintained the highest standards.

The Nostalgic years

Grandma Refugio's home-grown coffee

I still remember, with a heavy but grateful heart, the mornings with our beloved grandmother (may she rest in peace), who would rise with the sun and brew fresh coffee each day from the beans that grew on the trees right outside her house. The aroma would drift through the home, filling every corner with warmth and love. She believed coffee was more than a drink — it was a moment to gather, reflect, and honor the hard work everyone put into our farms.
