About Us
Our Story
Three roasteries. Three market segments. One powerful roasting operation. Delta Coffee Works was built by merging Pacific Coffee Roasters, Los Beans, and Best Gourmet Coffee Co. — bringing together specialty organic expertise, coffee shop craft, and retail-proven quality under one roof in Delta, BC. With over two decades of international roasting and brewing experience, our team custom builds coffees for every corner of the industry. We roast with passion, we deliver with precision, and we believe great coffee has the power to make a difference — locally and globally.
Our Mission
Great coffee doesn't happen by accident. At Delta Coffee Works, we obsess over every detail — from the farms where our beans are grown to the moment they land in your cup. Our mission is to create coffee products that consistently exceed expectations, for every customer, in every market segment we serve.
Meet Seth Lang
Seth is one of the owners here at Delta Coffee Works. He is the driving force behind the Pacific Coffee Roasters brand and their mission to renew and protect our coastal environment. Seth grew up off the grid on Read Island in the Discovery Islands where his love of all things ocean was formed. The ocean has been a playground for discovery of marine life as a child fishing and flipping rocks at low tide, a place of respect as a mariner who has experienced its peace and power, and later as a place of work and sharing knowledge as a sport fishing guide. Seth has always felt a deep connection with our coast and a sense of responsibility for its care. To him it is his home. .
With this connection Seth has also experienced great concern for the well being on the ocean here on our coast. The channel where Seth grew up was one of the first places on our coast where the fish farming industry was allowed to operate. There were 7 farm sites on Hoskyn Channel, all of which dumped all their waste directly into the ocean, each farm with the equivalent waste of a town of a small town people. Seth saw firsthand the change in the ocean in the summer months. Where the algae had once given the water a thick opalescent colour, the bay in front on his home became brown and frothy in the summer months. Today all the farms are gone, but the sites remain contaminated as per DFO with the harvesting of shellfish prohibited and abandoned equipment and garbage have been left on the shoreline. It took almost 10 years to return the summer waters to their opalescent colour. Seth has a goal of seeing the damage that was done being reversed everywhere on the coast. When given a chance, nature in its intelligence knows how to heal.
Later in life as Seth became involved in the coffee industry, he thought of ways to use his business to help in the recovery of the coastline that he cares so deeply for. He researched and found groups of people who are directly doing the work of cleaning up our coast and caring for important wild salmon habitat in our province. He drove the pledge to donate 10% of the profit from all his retail coffees to directly fund the groups of people he saw as having the most impact on the wellbeing of our ocean. He believes in the power of the lazy activist, where you can help with a cause just by buying a product from a company that cares.
