Our take on the Waka Instant Coffee, Colombian Medium Roast, Freeze Dried

Waka is a freeze-dried 100% Arabica instant coffee from Colombian beans, sold as a 3.5 oz bag that makes about 35 cups at 2 teaspoons each. It dissolves in hot or cold water, so it works for hot coffee, iced coffee, Americanos and lattes without equipment. The medium roast is smooth with bright citrus notes and moderate acidity, and it is unsweetened with nothing added. Against mass-market instant brands it trades a higher bean grade and freeze-drying for a cleaner, more coffee-like cup; against specialty instant rivals it is a straightforward single-origin Colombian rather than a blend or a decaf option.

About the Waka Instant Coffee, Colombian Medium Roast, Freeze Dried

Waka Instant Coffee in Medium Roast is made from 100% Arabica Colombian beans, freeze-dried to preserve the rich aroma and flavor of freshly brewed coffee. The medium roast profile is smooth and well-balanced with bright citrus undertones and moderate acidity, holding its character whether you drink it black or build it into a latte. This unsweetened coffee powder dissolves completely in hot or cold water, so you can make hot coffee, iced coffee, Americanos, lattes, or whipped dalgona-style drinks in seconds with no coffee maker, filters, or pods. One 3.5 oz bag makes up to 35 servings at the recommended 2 teaspoons per cup, with approximately 55mg of caffeine per serving. Made with just coffee and no sugar, additives, or artificial ingredients, it is vegan-friendly and easy to customize with your own milk, creamer, or sweetener. It also works as a baking ingredient in coffee cake, tiramisu, and frosting. Packaged with love in California in a bag made with post-consumer recycled content.
