Colombia Familia Cantillo

Truly family-oriented operation, this year’s offering from the Cantillo family is composed of coffee grown from each son’s farm and processed together. The variety is 100% Cantillo––a mutation Isaias discovered on La Esperanza and is now cultivated on the surrounding family farms and in other parts of Colombia.

The Colombia Familia Cantillo represents a unique collaboration with the Cantillo family, who cultivate the distinct Cantillo varietal in the diverse landscapes of Colombia. As a producer-focused offering, this lot highlights the specific agricultural heritage maintained by the family, showcasing the potential of their proprietary varietal. When evaluating such specific regional expressions, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuanced characteristics that emerge from these unique growing conditions.

Sourced and roasted by Stumptown Coffee Roasters, this coffee serves as a testament to the importance of direct relationships between roasters and producers. While general characteristics of Colombian coffees often lean toward balanced acidity and caramel sweetness, the inclusion of the Cantillo varietal suggests a specific profile shaped by the family’s dedicated cultivation practices. This entry offers a focused look at how individual family-led production can define the character of a single-origin coffee.
