A coffee from Colombia that shows how precise fermentation can transform the profile of a classic variety. In this batch, Julio Madrid of Finca Milán used a proprietary method of culturing - fermentation with natural microbial cultures and additives such as local fruit and spices. The result is a clean, light and distinctly fruity profile that will work perfectly as a transfer coffee or at cold brew.

This bean comes from the Risaralda region, from a farm at 1500-1600 metres above sea level, where the coffee is grown sustainably - respecting the local environment and water sources. As a variety, Caturra stands up well to fermentation and is able to convey all the nuances of processing - from bright notes of white tea and flowers, to juicy peaches and mango.

Region

Finca Milán is located in Betulia (Arabia, Pereira), in Colombia's Risaralda region. The farm lies at an altitude of 1,500-1600 metres above sea level, on fertile volcanic soils. Here, Julio Madrid and his family care not only about the quality of the crops, but also about the environment - the farm has protected water sources and natural bamboo corridors to support the local ecosystem. It is a place where craftsmanship is combined with long-term thinking about agriculture.

Botanical varieties

Caturra - one of the best-known Colombian varieties. It has compact growth and good productivity, but the most important thing is how well it captures the character of the site and processing. In the case of this coffee - it serves as a clean, balanced backdrop to a delicately complex sensory profile built on fermentation.

Processing method

Culturing is a proprietary fermentation process developed by Julio Madrida. It involves combining depulped coffee with a previously prepared yeast and bacteria culture, and a natural substrate of local fruits and herbs. Fermentation lasts between 5 and 10 days in an anaerobic environment. Once it is complete, the grains are thoroughly washed and dried for 14-16 days. The key here is to maintain repeatability and control - this gives the coffee a clean and clear character, without the risk of excess or chaos.

What does our new ferment taste like?

First - white tea and flowers. Quiet, delicate, like dawn over a tropical garden. Then - peach, nectarine, mango. Ripe, juicy, calm.

Colombia

Colombia has been one of the leaders in specialty coffee production for years. The Risaralda region not only offers excellent geographical conditions, but is also open to modern processing techniques. Finca Milán is a farm that combines tradition with experimentation - using methods such as culturing fermentation, attention to biodiversity and reproducible crop quality.

The roaster's opinion

Robert Rybczynski

Polish Coffee Roasting Champion 2024

Super juicy and sweet, full of ripe stone fruit with a distinctly jammy character.
