Colombia

Finca Milán is located in Betulia (Arabia, Pereira) and has been producing coffee since 1982, including varieties like Pink Bourbon, Caturra, Castillo Naranjal, Colombia, and Catiope. The farm is known for developing innovative processing methods such as Culturing and Nitro Fermentation, while still using traditional techniques like Washed and Natural. It also protects three natural springs and preserves native bamboo corridors. Their culturing fermentation was developed over years of trial and error. It starts with harvesting ripe cherries, preparing a starter culture with local yeasts and bacteria, and mixing it with a fruit-based substrate, spices, and herbs. The mixture ferments for 5–10 days depending on the climate. After fermentation, the coffee is washed and dried for 14–16 days.
