Farm Info

Finca Milan is located in the village of El Hogar in the municipality of Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia, and is owned by third-generation coffee producer Julio Cesar Madrid. Owned by the Madrid family for over 40 years, the 50-hectare farm combines tradition and innovation, producing specialty coffees using advanced fermentation methods such as Natural, Washed, Honey, and Culturing to create distinctive, high-quality cup profiles.

Processing Method

Fresh coffee cherries undergo embryonic stress activation in sealed bags for 10–12 hours, followed by cooling and depulping. The parchment then undergoes **controlled oxidation** and a 4–6 day anaerobic nitrogen fermentation in a sealed bioreactor with starter cultures, monitored for pH, Brix, and temperature. Finally, the coffee is **sun-dried for 15–20 days** and stabilized for 30 days to develop a balanced and complex cup profile.
