COMPETITION LINE #7 - Finca Milan

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from Finca Milan in the Arabia community near Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia at 1,600 meters altitude. The farm is owned by Julio César Madrid Tisnes, a third-generation coffee producer. The coffee is a Geisha variety processed using an innovative Nitro Natural method developed by Café UBA. The process involves hand-picked cherries sorted by color, then co-fermented in a bioreactor with must, fruit oil, watermelon, and pineapple. Fermentation is inoculated with Schizosaccharomyces pombe yeast under controlled conditions at 22°C, pH 3.9, and 3 bar pressure with nitrogen injection for 30 hours. Flavor notes include marzipan, orange blossom, red apple, and watermelon.
