Specialty Colombian Coffee That Pays Farmers Fairly
Born in Colombia. Brewed in the Bay Area.
The problem with everyday coffee
Most consumer-grade coffee is a commodity. Its price is set by the global market, not by quality or care. For the farmer, that means little room to earn more for doing things well, and little positive impact reaching the farm, the family or the community.
Something you should know
Change a country’s story? Impossible. Change the habits of an entire industry? Impossible. Change how business gets done? Impossible. Beat the clock? Impossible.
Could one coffee do all of this? The idea sounds absurd. But logic never had a sip.
The Huila Farmers Behind Our Colombian Cold Brew
In Huila, the farmer does the hardest work and gets the smallest cut. I was made to fix that math, one ripe cherry at a time.
We selected a very special farming community in Santa María, Huila, high in the Colombian Andes. On the farms there, the same branch holds red cherries and green ones. The red ones are ripe. That's where the sugar lives. The green ones are early. That's where the bitterness comes from.
Colombian Cold Brew, Made in the Bay Area
Colombian by birth, Bay Area by craft… National champion, Good Food Awards finalist, in case you need someone else's opinion.
How Delirio Started
A Garage, a Stanford Dorm and Night Shifts
A garage, a home kitchen, a Stanford dorm, night shifts in San Francisco. Woman-led, family-operated, Colombian. This is who carried me here.
