Located in the village of Betulia (Arabia township, Pereira), Finca Milán has been producing all types of coffee since 1982, including Pink Bourbon, Caturra, Colombia, Castillo Naranjal, and Catiope. This is where Julio Madrid and Julio Andrés Quiceno developed unique processing methods, such as “Culturing” and “Nitro” fermentations. They also process coffees using more traditional methods, like Washed and Natural processes. The farm also protects three natural water springs and features biological corridors with native guadua bamboo.
This lot is crafted using Cafe Uba’s (Finca Milan parent company) signature “Nitro Washed” fermentation, an innovative technique developed in-house. In this process, coffee is fermented inside a bioreactor with a mix of fruit must, starter cultures, and culturing lixiviates. During fermentation, the atmosphere purges oxygen with nitrogen and they closely monitor key variables such as temperature, pH, and Brix levels to keep the coffee in what has been identified as the optimal range. After fermentation the coffee is sun dried for 30 days.
The lots that we got from Finca Milan using their nitro or culturing processes remind us of the first time trying Natural Ethiopian coffees and thinking “how can coffee even taste like this?”
