There’s nothing like waking up to a cup of coffee. Why not use coffee to wake up the world to the wonder that is El Salvador? Cristian hopes to do just that with Don Leo Coffee, the only one hundred percent Salvadoran produced coffee in the world. Forget the chains and the instant stuff, grab some Don Leo and see what El Salvador is made of.
Cristian Quintanilla is the founder of Don Leo Coffee. Cristian got his start in the corporate world and grew to be a coffee connoisseur and entrepreneur. Don Leo is named after Cristian’s grandfather and is meant to honor the sacrifices our parents and grandparents have made for us.
