New Member-Guatemala Coffee Exporter

[coffeebroker]

Hello Everyone,

I've recently started working in the family business and I'm new to the coffee industry. My wife has a coffee farm in Guatemala and we are looking to cut out the middle men and start selling directly to small coffee shops. We reside in Orlando,FL and looking forward to establish some relationships here in this community.

Hello "coffeebroker"

Welcome to the Coffee Forums website! You will find a lot of useful information here.

We have several members of this forum who call Florida their home. I'm guessing you will soon establish relationships with them . . . and with lots of people from all over the world.

Have you tried Barnies coffee kitchen in Orlando? Ann Valdez is awesome and I believe she is still in charge of all coffee purchases. Here is a link to their company.

What coffee region is the farm located in? What is the quality? How do you plan to export the coffee to USA? I may be interested.

Hello Wen,The coffee farm is located in Santa Rosa, Guatemala. We sell premium/ first class coffee.Currently we are selling directly to Starbucks and a company in Germany. I'm trying to figure out how to import directly to the US but I don't know the process yet. I'm doing some research and hope to figure it out soon. Are you from Guatemala?

Awesome, welcome to the forum and good luck in your endeavors. Will you be selling exclusively in Florida or will you ship to other coffee shops around the US?

Welcome coffeebroker! I do hope in reference to crackofdawncoffee ^^ that you are not only restricted to Florida. I'm in the Caribbean where most if not all businesses are tied in with Florida. I soon will be setting up a coffee shop of my own in the Bahamas. Do you have a website or something like a catalog with prices and options? Because of the Guatemalan coffee farm I am very interested as I'm trying to work with farms/coffee bean farms as I'm already tied into a farm here in Nassau.
