Colombia La Familia Guarnizo - Specialty Instant Coffee

Your favorite cup of Joe coffee is now available in a craft-prepared instant version—the perfect option when you’re camping, flying, on the road, or simply on the go.

Processed in collaboration with our friends at Swift Cup Coffee, we meticulously roast our coffee in small batches and through Swift Cup’s proprietary process, the coffee is carefully brewed to a very flavorful concentrate before being slowly dehydrated by freeze drying. The result is a concentrated instant coffee that allows the complexity and delicate flavor profile of the roast to shine through.

One of our closest producer relationships, the Guarnizo Family operates six farms in Huila, Colombia. This beautiful single-origin coffee is grown on the eastern slopes of the Central Cordillera in the Andes Mountains.

Each box includes 6 individual 5g sachets of instant coffee. Simply add 8-10 oz of hot or cold water to enjoy.

This specialty instant coffee from Joe Coffee represents a direct relationship with the Guarnizo family in Colombia's Huila region. The commitment to single-origin sourcing—capturing coffee from a specific producer rather than blending origins—underscores the quality standards increasingly common in the specialty instant category. Instant coffees have historically occupied a convenience tier, but specialty producers now apply rigorous sourcing and processing methods to preserve the distinctive character of their origins.

Huila is known for producing coffees with notable clarity and balance, qualities that pose particular challenges in instant coffee production, where extraction and drying processes can obscure subtle notes. The Guarnizo family's involvement in this release suggests intentional oversight of how their coffee translates across formats.
