Instant Coffee - Lilac Dream

As a great counterpoint to our Smooth Operator, we're excited to offer Lilac Dream as an instant coffee. This specific Lilac Dream is from Gedeb in Southern Ethiopia.

This is again a collab with Hasty Coffee (@hastycoffeecompany). Hasty Coffee was founded by brother duo Ben & Josh McGaghey and, as it turns out, Ben is a P&S alumnus.

The reason we love Hasty is not just that they consistently top other instant makers in blind head-to-heads, but that they are ever committed to evolving their product quality, a bit like us 😄. This batch is revision 5 of their process, and it just keeps getting better.

Each box comes with 6 packets of coffee. We hope you love it!

IMPORTANT: For the best cup, we don't recommend using boiling water. Sounds crazy, but trust us. We suggest 175°F / 80°C for ideal results, but most temperatures work as long as it’s well below boiling. Just add hot-ish water and stir. Anywhere, any time.

This instant coffee showcases Ethiopia's Gedeb region, a storied origin known for producing coffees with distinctive character. Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters has crafted this offering through Hasty Coffee, a producer working within one of Ethiopia's celebrated microclimates. Instant coffee formats offer convenience while preserving the flavor profile developed during roasting and processing. Natural-processed coffees from this region tend toward fruit-forward, floral expressions—characteristics that may inform the "Lilac Dream" nomenclature, though the specific sensory profile reflects this particular roaster's interpretation and production method.
