Finca Milán is the pride of Julio Cesar Madrid Tisnés, a third-generation coffee producer deeply committed to quality. His dedication to the craft has led him to cultivate some of the more unusual coffee varieties in Colombia, such as Sudan Rume, Yirgacheffe, and Laurina, each known for its intricate flavor profiles. Julio’s pursuit of excellence is further supported by his daughter, Maria Antonia Madrid, a biologist who has played a crucial role in refining the farm’s processing methods. Her research into the organoleptic effects of microbial starter cultures in coffee fermentation has been instrumental in enhancing the quality of their coffee. 

The catiope varietal is a cross between caturra and the Ethiopian landrace coffee. This experimental varietal is known for its ability to be grown at lower elevations, with high yields and excellent quality.
