Milan Farm focuses solely on varieties that are gaining global attention and continuously develops new processing methods. They are particularly active in the "Culturing Process." Through this processing method, they enhance the flavors of varieties that are not as overtly flamboyant as "Geisha" or "Bourbon," as well as "Castillo," a disease-resistant and easy-to-grow variety, thereby expanding the possibilities of coffee.

Concurrently, in collaboration with universities and research institutions, they are analyzing data by comparing and investigating the changes and ratios of bacterial species brought about by the "Culturing Process" with those of regular "Castillo."

Milan Farm is located in the Andes Mountains of Risaralda Department, spanning 1400-1800m with hot springs and volcanic soil. They produce diverse micro-lots alongside crops such as plantains (green bananas), corn, and beans. Everyone working on the farm is treated like family, and it is evident that the entire team aims to improve farm production and processes.


① Cherries are harvested, sorted, and then pulped.
② The parchment coffee is then transferred to tanks for fermentation. Nitrogen, yeast, and enough water to cover the coffee are added, and it ferments for 3-4 days in this state.
③ After washing with clean water, it proceeds to the drying stage. Natural drying takes approximately 20-30 days.

Yeast samples from Milan Farm are sent to a laboratory in Bogotá for analysis.
The analysis revealed that the yeasts used this time (two types) are most active and promote fermentation activities specifically in a nitrogen-only environment.
They introduced machinery to generate nitrogen from oxygen and repeated trials and errors.
Starting with small quantities and adjusting towards the desired flavor through cupping, this process was perfected.

 

① Direct Material Costs:
Material costs that can be directly identified as incurred to produce roasted beans.
(e.g., green beans, valved zipper bags, front label, back label)
The direct material cost ratio for these beans (Direct Material Costs ÷ List Price × 100) is 39.0%.
② Indirect Material Costs:
Material costs that cannot be directly identified as incurred to produce roasted beans.
(e.g., blades and rubber parts for label cutting machines)
③ Direct Labor Costs:
Labor costs that can be directly identified as incurred to produce roasted beans.
(e.g., wages paid to employees involved in manufacturing, such as roasting and bagging roasted beans)
④ Indirect Labor Costs:
Labor costs that cannot be directly identified as incurred to produce roasted beans.
(e.g., wages paid to employees not involved in manufacturing, such as administrative staff)
⑤ Direct Expenses:
Expenses that can be directly identified as incurred to produce roasted beans.
(e.g., costs incurred when outsourcing a part of the manufacturing process, such as bagging roasted beans, to an external vendor)
⑥ Indirect Expenses:
Expenses that cannot be directly identified as incurred to produce roasted beans.
(e.g., electricity/gas costs used for roasting, depreciation of the roasting machine, electricity costs for storing green beans at low temperatures)

The total of ① to ⑥ above constitutes the manufacturing cost.
* The total cost is the manufacturing cost plus selling expenses incurred for product sales and general administrative expenses for the overall management activities of the store.
