For all those moments you wish you had a coffee and no way to brew it, we’ve partnered with Swift Coffee to develop an instant version of our single origin Costa Rica Don Joel Kenia microlot. Swift uses a unique brewing system they developed, which helps preserve the true flavors of the coffee during a slow freeze-drying process.

Instant Costa Rica Don Joel Kenia immediately dissolves in hot or cold water for incredible coffee wherever you are. Keep a 6-pack in your bag, purse, cargo pocket, glovebox, travel pouch, sports bag, or desk drawer, and never be without amazing coffee again!

Contains 6 individually wrapped pouches of instant coffee packaged in the same Biotre material as our coffee bags. For best results, store unopened packets in a cool (less than 74°F) and dry (less than 50% humidity) location. If exposed to greater humidity, you may see some mild clumping, but it shouldn’t affect flavor.

This specific lot features the Kenia varietal, a selection that adds a unique dimension to the diverse landscape of Costa Rica coffee production. While the Kenia varietal is often noted for its specific structural characteristics, the final profile of any cup is heavily influenced by the meticulous processing methods employed at the farm level.

When evaluating a coffee of this caliber, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuanced aromatic and taste compounds present in the brew. Because Costa Rican coffees are frequently celebrated for their clean, bright acidity and balanced sweetness, this offering serves as an excellent example of the regional profile.
