Highlights

“Finca Milán sits 1,600 metres above sea level in Vereda El Hogar, in the municipality of Pereira near Los Nevados Natural National Park. It is the second largest farm in Café UBA, an alliance of Risaralda growers, and cultivates Castillo, Colombia, Caturra, Catiope, Pink Bourbon and Red Bourbon. Owner Julio Cesar Madrid is a third-generation producer whose daughter Maria Antonia, a biologist, researches how microbial starter cultures shape flavour. The 'Logan' process ferments this Castillo and Caturra lot for 72 hours in a bioreactor alongside pineapple, blackberry, strawberry and natural oils before it is washed and dried.”
