Julio Cesar Madrid – Finca Milán – Logan Cultured Washed
$28.00
Light roast. Limited release.
Passion fruit, florals, and candied blueberry come together in Logan, a Castillo and Caturra lot from producer Julio Cesar Madrid at Finca Milán in Colombia. This Reserve release explores the farm’s innovative approach to cultured fermentation through a distinctly tropical, berry-forward cup.
Logan is processed with selected yeast cultures, yellow fruits, and berries during fermentation before being washed and dried. The process gives this coffee its own identity alongside Maypop, another Finca Milán offering in our Reserve collection.
Our tasting notes highlight passion fruit’s tropical character, floral aromatics, and the sweetness of candied blueberry. These descriptors are a guide to what we experience in the cup, not a list of ingredients added after roasting.

Producer and Origin
Julio Cesar Madrid is a third-generation coffee producer whose work at Finca Milán combines experience in Colombian coffee production with a curiosity for fermentation and distinctive varieties.
Located near Pereira in Risaralda, Finca Milán is part of Café UBA, a group of farms known for exploring how carefully managed processing can shape a coffee’s sensory expression.
Logan Cultured Washed Processing
Logan uses a cultured fermentation involving selected yeast, yellow fruits, and berries. Rather than relying solely on the microorganisms naturally present on the coffee, this approach introduces starter cultures to help guide fermentation.
After fermentation, the coffee is washed and dried. The fruit is used during processing at origin, not added to the roasted beans.
Like Maypop, Logan reflects Finca Milán’s curiosity about fermentation. Its combination of yellow fruits, berries, and yeast cultures creates a different expression for you to explore.
Why This Coffee Stands Out
This is a coffee for drinkers drawn to expressive fruit and floral profiles. Our light roast highlights the three notes that define this release:
- Passion fruit’s tropical character
- Floral aromatics
- Candied blueberry sweetness
Let the coffee cool slightly as you taste. Your brewing method, water, and recipe can change which notes stand out most.
About Finca Milán
Finca Milán brings together Colombian coffee-growing tradition and experimentation. Julio Madrid’s work with varieties such as Castillo and Caturra demonstrates how processing can reveal different expressions from familiar coffees.
About Risaralda
Risaralda forms part of Colombia’s coffee axis alongside Caldas and Quindío. The region’s mountain landscapes, volcanic soils, and long-established coffee culture provide the setting for farms such as Finca Milán.
