Intro

At Finca Milan, innovation is not an end in itself — each fermentation protocol is developed to bring out the potential that is already there. The NG (New Generation) coffee is a perfect expression of this philosophy: a floral, delicate, and graceful cup shaped by precision, science, and a deep respect for the coffee’s own identity.

Details

The Farm

Located in the Risaralda region of Colombia, Finca Milan is now recognised as one of the country’s leading examples of precision fermentation. The farm has developed its own culturing protocols, built on a thorough understanding of microbiology, to achieve distinct and complex flavour profiles that go far beyond what conventional processing can offer.

What sets Finca Milan apart is the philosophy behind the science: fermentation is never used as a shortcut or a flavour trick. Every protocol is designed to amplify what the terroir and the cherry have already developed — a rare and admirable commitment to integrity and craft in modern specialty coffee.

The Process

The NG — New Generation process is Finca Milan’s signature approach to cultured fermentation:

• 🍒 Full-ripeness harvesting — Cherries hand-picked only at complete ripeness
• 🔧 Pulping — Outer skin removed before fermentation begins
• 🧬 Cultured fermentation — A selected culture of yeasts and bacteria, developed directly on the farm, is introduced to guide the fermentation
• 🌿 Natural substrate — The culture is maintained using local fruits, aromatic plants, and spices — amplifying aromatics without compromising the coffee’s identity
• ⏱️ Extended fermentation — Depending on harvest conditions, fermentation lasts 5–10 days for full aromatic development
• 💧 Washing — Thoroughly washed after fermentation
• ☀️ Slow controlled drying — Dried slowly and carefully to preserve all developed aromatic compounds

The Cup

This NG captivates with its aromatic finesse from the very first sip. Initial notes evoke orange blossom and rose water — delicate, perfumed, and elegant — before giving way to fresh, juicy raspberry that brightens the mid-palate and lingers into a graceful finish. The cup is floral, refined, and unlike anything a conventional process could produce. A rare demonstration of what precision fermentation looks like when done with true artistry.
