Quintero Díaz

José Hernán Quintero has been involved with coffee for as long as he can remember. His parents were coffee producers and having his own land to produce coffee and continue his parent’s legacy had always been a dream. However, the reality of the socio-political situation in Colombia put to test this dream. The people of Rioblanco, where José is from, were forced to flee due to war and seek refuge in the surrounding mountains. Understandably this proved to be a massive challenge for Jose Hernán’s passion for coffee but luckily it prevailed just long enough to see the end of this violence.
