Hola! I am Maria, founder of Delirio.
I grew up in Colombia surrounded by people who grow some of the world’s best coffee, but I never liked its bitterness and I did not want the sugar. Everything changed when I tasted a cup that was naturally sweet. To understand the mystery, I visited fincas in Colombia, where farmers showed me how sweetness comes from perfectly ripe coffee cherries—picked only when they are rewarded for quality. Seeing how honoring their work breaks the cycle of poverty rocked my world.
I left my job in energy, moved to Stanford, and spent a year studying how to share this sweetness with the world. Delirio was born. Together, we can transform a massive industry. All we have to do is drink and share delicious coffee.
