Jorge David Portillo Mejía (Finca La Cascada)

Jorge David Portillo Mejía is a third-generation farmer who has been connected to coffee since he was seven years old. His farm, born from land inherited by his father, represents the stability and future of his home.

Despite facing the harsh realities of rising costs and climate uncertainty, Jorge works with unwavering commitment. His motivation is clear: to transform his farm into a solid, family-led enterprise where his children and relatives participate in every step. After securing 22nd place in the 2024 auction, his 8th place finish in 2026 is a source of great pride and a sign of his growing expertise. Jorge’s dream is to keep diversifying his varieties and building a sustainable, family-centered legacy.
