The Guat Lab is Mario Alarcon and Christian Starry, two producers and exporters who work side by side with growers in all parts of Guatemala to help them market their coffees. Unlike most exporters, they work as service providers providing 100% price transparency to their partners. The company developed a model with a fixed fee for exporting services and fair prices discussed with (not imposed to) each farmer and direct contact to the final buyer. Chris and Mario managed to make room for a different kind of exporting in Guatemala. More people trade transparently in the country now, a trend they are proud to have pioneered. They work with a number of producers with similar views of coffee: focus on innovation, transparency and a savvy approach to business. Mario is also the owner of Finca El Recuerdo and Finca Monte de Oro in Acatenango whilst Chris owns Finca El Xalúm and La Revuelta in Amatitlán. They are also known as Truth Trading Company or TTCo Exports.

Santa Isabel is in my family for 25 years and it is our second coffee farm. The farm is managed by my brother José and I (Karen) help my father Adolfo run Café Kapeu, a company he started to give farmers more support in processing and sales with better prices. Many producers leave their coffees with us in consignation. When we find good prices for them we sell and they get a better share.
I am a Q Grader and the head of quality control at Café Kapeu. I cup coffees from over 700 producers all over Ciudad Vieja, where our office is, and Antigua. It is my job to tell them if there are any practices that can be improved based on the quality of their cup.

Once the ordering period ends we will consolidate all coffees in a shared container. During transport, your coffee is fully insured. We will keep you informed about the shipment status.
Upon arrival of the coffee at the warehouse, you can choose between 2 delivery modes:
