Instant Coffee - Mexico

Don't believe the myth that instant coffee is subpar.  It's only subpar when made with subpar beans.  We use our premium, ethically sourced Mexico beans for great coffee in a hurry.  Whether it's time to travel, busy day at work or any of the other on the go fun of life, we're there for you in an instant (get it? OK...) Regardless of what you thought of that poor pun, what you should get is our Instant Mexico coffee.  Unlike that bad pun, it won't let you down.

PS - why doesn't it say Organic?  Because the 3rd party that makes the instant coffee for us isn't a certified Organic facility, we can't put the Organic label on it, but the beans come from the same bag as our Organic Mexico on our site.

Each box contains six individual packets which each make one cup of coffee.

Mexico Coffee Bean Back Story

In the mountainous state of Chiapas in southern Mexico, nestled within the Truinfo Biosphere Reserve, Café Sierra Azul stands as a dynamic coffee cooperative comprised of approximately 200 smallholder farmers. The breathtaking landscapes and unparalleled biodiversity of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve sets the stage for thriving farms, healthy ecological symbiosis, and fantastic coffee quality. The name Sierra Azul, meaning Blue Mountains aptly reflects the unique blueish hue that paints the mountain peaks surrounding the coffee farms. Established in 2010, Café Sierra Azul embarked on a mission to elevate livelihoods of coffee growing families within their community while striving for excellence in producing high quality specialty coffee. At its core, Sierra Azul remains steadfast in its commitment to enhancing member prosperity and through partnerships Sierra Azul has been able to mitigate the precarious dynamics of local markets.

Each of the members of Sierra Azul has an individual wet mill on his/her own farm. As an organization, they have protocols and parameters in place to ensure that the coffee cherries being picked are at optimal maturity. Once the cherries are picked, they are floated in water to remove the lower-density cherries, and then they are hand sorted. The cherries are then de-pulped at each farm, fermented in tanks, and washed before they are finally dried on raised beds mostly in the shade. By slowly drying on raised beds, the coffee benefits from having continuous, delicate airflow. By mostly avoiding direct sunlight, the coffee is protected from being damaged by excessively hot temperatures. This dedicated approach guarantees a high-quality coffee that tells the story of its careful journey from farm to cup. This Vienna Roast coffee has a well rounded, pink grapefruit & milk chocolate profile.
