La Maravilla is a place that lives up to its name, which means “marvel” in Spanish. Perched in the rugged mountains of Huehuetenango, the farm was established by Mauricio Rosales and his father in 1997. It began humbly on a sparsely planted, remote plot of land accessible only by a narrow horse path. Over time, they carved out roads, built drying patios and constructed a wet mill, transforming the land into a showcase for exceptional coffee. La Maravilla has gone on to earn international acclaim, including multiple wins in the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition. Building on this success, Mauricio established Kape’tenango as a dedicated area within La Maravilla to experiment with new varieties and techniques. This small harvest of H1 is one result of that work. H1 is a first-generation hybrid that combines coffee leaf rust resistance with Sudan Rume, an Ethiopian landrace. The variety has become prized for its exceptional cup quality, which is on full display here.

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
