Origin Story

Daniel Canales was the first grower to ever win the top prize at a Cup of Excellence competition with an organic coffee, way back in 2004. We purchased some of that winning lot and have never stopped working with the Canales family, whose dual commitments to organic farming and quality-focused innovation haven't wavered. Today, those traditions are carried on by Daniel’s three boys, Milton, Norman, and Donal, the third generation of coffee growers at Los Delirios. This year marks the 20th year of collaboration between Intelligentsia and the Canales family. This organic Pacamara varietal lot, the product of a father-and-son collaboration between Daniel and Milton, makes its appearance on our single-origin menu for the seventh consecutive season.

Sensory

This season's Pacamara from Los Delirios continues to be an approachable coffee with its caramel-like sweetness and soft citrus.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from intelligentsia.com.
