This adorable box contains six servings of INSTANT COFFEE.

“With great coffee comes great responsibility,” they said. And to that, WE said—ok but what if you could just add water instead? Next thing you know—BOOM, we’ve got absolutely delightful coffee that’s been brewed, freeze-dried, and portioned into single servings ready to be sipped in an instant! Just add ~8 oz of water (hot OR cold), stir it up real good, and enjoy. If you’re feeling especially fancy, you can even just add ~3 oz of water to make a knockout faux-spresso.

Whether on a camping trip, visiting in-laws, caught in a power outage, or simply lacking the energy to go through a traditional routine, instant is here to save the day.

This batch was made with coffee from several farmers based in the foothills of Nevado del Huila Park in the town of Santa Maria, Huila. We always love the “sugarcane” process of decaffeination, which retains incredible sweetness and brightness. In this instafied format, we’re getting roasted nuts, fluffy marshmallows, and the twinkly magic of midnight moonlight.

DO THE BEST:

• Store below 75 degrees for max longevity
• Best if brewed within one year of production

DECAF DETAILS:

In Colombia, where sugarcane is abundant, the EA (Ethyl Acetate) decaffeination process has become so mainstream that it’s relatively safe to assume that any Decaf Colombia from a specialty roaster will be pretty darn decent, at the very least. Shared Source, one of our importing partners (though not the one who provided this particular coffee for us), sums the process up like so: “sugarcane molasses is fermented to create ethanol, and then mixed with acetic acid to create Ethyl Acetate. The coffee is steamed [to] open the pores and allow for the extraction of caffeine molecules. From there, it’s placed into an ethyl acetate solution where it bonds to the salts of chlorogenic acid inside the beans. When the coffee is fully saturated, the solution is drained and refilled until 97% or more of the caffeine is removed.”
