Why some details are blank
  • altitude mThe exact listing publishes a 1,500–1,650 m range; the single-value field remains blank rather than inventing a midpoint.
  • fermentationWashed processing is verified, but no fermentation duration, vessel, or water protocol is published.
  • gradeOrganic, Direct Trade, and In Season are sourcing or commerce labels, not a formal green-coffee grade.
  • roast levelComforting is Intelligentsia’s proprietary profile, not a conventional light, medium, or dark designation.
  • public sentiment ratingOne exact qualitative review is visible, but its individual numeric or star value is not exposed; no score was inferred.
  • roast dateNo bag-specific roast date is published.

From the producer

Norman Canales represents the third generation of the Canales family at Los Delirios, working alongside his brothers Milton and Donal.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia labels the roast profile “Comforting,” calls the coffee Organic, Direct Trade and In Season, and recommends pour-over brewing at a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A current, organic washed Pacamara from one of Intelligentsia’s longest Direct Trade relationships; the Canales partnership dates to 2003 and the family’s organic coffee won Nicaragua’s 2004 Cup of Excellence.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Offer reconciled

Added the regular $23 USD / 10 oz offer and removed the placeholder grade.

02
Availability resolved

Changed Unknown to Sold out after the direct product URL returned not found and an exact catalog marked the lot unavailable.

03
Production retained

Reconfirmed Norman Canales, Los Delirios, Pacamara, 1,500–1,650 m, December 2025–March 2026 harvest, washed process, and patio/raised-bed drying.

04
Sentiment separated

Recorded one exact qualitative Shop review without converting it into a numerical rating.

What was added?

Structured price/currency, final availability, one-source qualitative public sentiment, refreshed evidence limits, and current verification date.

What wasn't added?

No midpoint altitude, fermentation protocol, formal grade, conventional roast level, numerical public rating, owner score, verdict, or tasting approval.

Why it matters

The profile now distinguishes exact product facts, historical release context, and one limited public response without inflating any of them.

What you might taste

Green apple, caramel, and lemon curd from the roaster; the independent reviewer reports a fruitier expression near 205°C.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

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

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-29) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
