The story

Don Pio Canales established Los Delirios in 1958. Under Daniel Canales the property expanded into an estate assembled from smaller farms around the original holding. Daniel’s sons Milton, Norman and Donal now represent the third generation.

Challenges

The farm has navigated the complexities of the specialty coffee market and the demands of maintaining organic farming practices over several decades.

Innovations

The family converted former pasture into coffee agroforestry and invested in wet milling, a dry mill, and raised and shaded drying beds. A Los Delirios organic coffee won Nicaragua’s 2004 Cup of Excellence.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
