At Finca Milán in Pereira, Risaralda, Julio Andrés Quiceno approaches coffee processing as both a science and an art form. As the lead behind the farm’s experimental program, Julio’s work with the Caturra variety at 1500 MASL has produced some of Colombia’s most expressive and fruit-forward lots.

This particular coffee showcases Julio’s Melon & Peach Fermentation, part of his innovative Culturing Process—a precise yet intuitive method that treats fermentation as a living, evolving craft. By closely managing variables such as humidity (10–11.5%), Julio guides the coffee’s development with remarkable control, unlocking a cup that bursts with ripe melon, juicy peach, and delicate florals.

A playful experiment that tastes like sunshine in a cup—crafted by a producer who’s redefining what Colombian coffee can be.
