Feel the Tropics
Biarte was inspired by the green
mountains of the Guatemalan
tropics. We are a "roots to markets"
business where we offer our
customers a variety of natural specialty
products that are sourced directly
from the producers.
Our Story
Your Connection to the Tropics
Our Story
A lifetime of inspiration
Carlos, Biarte's founder, grew up at a coffee farm on the beautiful volcanoes of Atitlan, Guatemala. During his first trip to the US, he packed the products from the farm to take a piece from home with him. He shared the food with his friends and they liked it so much that every trip back home he would have to bring more.
From Roots
Biarte is based in Austin, Texas, where we receive and ship our specialty products. We import directly from the family-owned farm, Finca Santo Tomas Perdido, and other partnered local Guatemalan farms. Biarte’s journey has just started and we are excited for what’s to come!
To Markets
We want to supply the highest quality, most nutritious, and unprocessed products. In turn, our customers are providing essential economic support to preserve the tradition of family farmers in Guatemala, contribute to the sustainability of our communities, and conserve our tropical forests.
We skip intermediaries and import our products directly from the producers.
Crafts from Atitlan
Atitlan, Guatemala has the reputation of having some of the best coffees in the world, but they also have beautiful and special crafts from local artisans. Atitlan has outstanding artisans that create crafts of great quality. We will look to partner with local artisans to support their art.
More products soon!
Coffee was the initial inspiration, but we are working on bringing more specialty products! On the works are delicious tropical wildflower honey and specialty cacao.
