From the producer

Norman Canales is a third-generation producer at Los Delirios. He produced this washed Pacamara lot while continuing the Canales family's six-decade history at the estate.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia lists the current coffee as a single-origin, washed Pacamara with a Comforting roast-style marker and green apple, caramel, and lemon-curd notes.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This release combines an exact producer, farm, variety, elevation range, drying method, and harvest window on the roaster's current product page. The Canales relationship is one of Intelligentsia's longest-running Direct Trade partnerships.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Reverified the exact release

Confirmed Norman Canales, Los Delirios, Pacamara, washed processing, 1,500–1,650 m, patio-plus-raised-bed drying, the 2025–26 harvest and the green-apple/caramel/lemon-curd profile from the exact Intelligentsia record.

Corrected commercial status

The official product URL now returns 404 and the exact catalog reports the coffee no longer available; the record was changed from Available to Sold out and its $23 / 10 oz offer was normalized.

Separated limited customer sentiment

Recorded one exact Shop customer comment as qualitative positive evidence. No item-level numeric rating was exposed, so no numerical public sentiment score was calculated.

What was added?

Structured $23 USD / 283.5 g pricing, a November 1 availability check, and one transparently bounded exact-customer sentiment source.

What wasn't added?

No fermentation duration, formal grade, conventional roast level, house score, or numeric public sentiment rating was inferred. The 2004 Caturra review and older 2024 flavor-note version were not merged into this release.

Why it matters

The profile now reflects that the 2025–26 release has left sale while preserving its documented production chain and keeping public opinion separate from editorial scoring.

What you might taste

Green apple, caramel, and lemon curd, as stated for the 2025–26 release.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
