Transparency

Our Transparent Pricing Structure is a key part of our commitment to quality, transparency, and sustainability.

Here you will find the prices paid to producers, also known as Farmgate prices; all costs associated with the local movement of the coffee - from the farm to the washing station, then to the dry mill; the preparation of the coffee from parchment to exportable specialty greens, and any packaging: Grain pro bags, Jute bags, Bag marking, vac pacs; and finally the taxes paid to Anacafe (National Coffee Association of Guatemala).

This brings you to the “FOB” price - Free on Board (FOB) prices are the prices paid for the coffees that are delivered and placed onto a ship at the country of origin. FOB Prices include everything prior to the overseas shipping, insurance and do not include any transportation, customs and overland freight costs incurred on arrival to the port of destination. 

The Total Delivered cost is the final Ex-Warehouse cost of the coffee, to which we add 20% in order to cover our overhead expenses such as financing costs, handling, warehousing, and travel. 

If you are interested in the price transparency of your own coffee, please get in touch with us and we will provide you with more information.

We are proud participants in the transparent pricing movement, participating in the most recent 2020 Specialty Coffee Transaction Guide, which is now available to download at www.transactionguide.coffee
