We've been partners with the Cantillo Family since 2007—the same year the late Isaías Cantillo Ossa won first place in Colombia's Cup of Excellence competition. Today, the fourth generation of Cantillo coffee producers manage the family farm.
In 1987, Isaías Cantillo purchased his coffee farm, La Esperanza, high up in the Andes mountains in the Huila province of southern Colombia. His coffee was awarded top prize in the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition twenty years later. Isaías then purchased additional land around his farm for each of his children, and Stumptown began buying from them, combining lots from the various Cantillos' farms under one name. Sadly, in June 2023, Isaías Cantillo passed away from medical complications. Still, his legacy lives on through his wife and children, who remain dedicated to producing exceptionally high-quality coffee.
