DL No. 71: Los Lirios
DL No. 71: Los Lirios
Rich, heavy body. Brown sugar aroma. Tastes of dark chocolate.
It all began just four years ago with Silvia and Nancy Lizana made a decision. As fourth generation farmers and daughters of coffee producers, they were faced with a challenge to push forward into new territory or risk being out-performed by the growing number of Peruvians bringing competitive coffees to market. Carrying on the centuries-old tradition of coffee farming in Peru, the sisters had to solve for new considerations. From staying competitive in the global market to the environmental impact of their farms and production facilities, they had to dig deep to get on top.
And that’s exactly what they did. Silvia and Nancy recruited six more like-minded women to form Los Lirios de Chirinos located in the Cajamarca region of Peru. Together, these women join in a commitment to improve productivity and profitability for their farm without sacrificing quality. Coffee cherries are still hand-picked and hand-selected, they are still processed onsite.
Los Lirios de Chirinos is based in Peru. It sits at a slightly lower elevation than Machu Picchu and demonstrates the quality flavor profile associated with higher elevation coffees. Dillanos Limited No. 71: Los Lirios has a sweet brown sugar aroma that offsets notes of candied pralines and dark chocolate. The body is heavy and the intensity is rich. It’s a beautiful coffee crafted by a team of forward-thinking women dedicated to the future of Peruvian coffees.
Our favorite way to brew Los Lirios is with a French Press.

Dillanos Limited No. 70: Java Moment
DL No. 70: Java Moment
Strong, heavy body. Praline aroma. Tastes of cocoa nibs and dark chocolate.
In the shadows of Mount Argopuro sits the Pokmas Walida Cooperative where Indonesian coffee is being redefined.
Despite its long-standing and foundational role in the industry, Indonesian coffees have recently been both difficult to trace and, sadly, declining in quality. In an age where savvy consumers demand accountability, that has posed challenges to the nation’s ability to compete on the international market. That is, until Pokmas Walida Coop hit the scene. Partnered with the team at Belift Green Beans, they are committed to supplying high-quality, traceable coffees globally and reclaiming Indonesia’s station as a leader in coffee production.
And we’ve got one of those exact coffees here at DCR Coffee. Java from Java is back and we’re pleased to announce Dillanos Limited No. 70: Java Moment! This remarkable coffee has a strong, heavy body with a rich cocoa nib flavor and lingering praline aroma. The honey process used preserves the inherent sweetness and emphasizes a heavier body than others common in the region. This is exactly what we wanted to experience from an East Java single origin coffee.
