Buenavista Bloom — Limited Edition Instant #1

    Pineapple. Toffee. Natural Process. A freeze-dried single origin made for summer.

    We’ve been building toward coffees like this all year — and we’re proud to introduce Buenavista Bloom, the first release in our summer limited edition series.

    This is a natural processed Colombian with a flavour profile that surprised even us.
    Bright pineapple, soft toffee sweetness, and a clean, fruit-forward finish that sits perfectly in hot or cold drinks. It’s the kind of coffee that reminds you instantly that single origin instant is a whole different world.

    A tiny run, freeze-dried at peak flavour.
    This release won’t return — so enjoy every cup.

    Why We Chose This Coffee

    We wanted to open our summer limited editions with something that felt alive:

    • Origin: Buenavista, Quindio, Colombia

    • Process: Natural

    • Flavour notes: Pineapple, toffee, vanilla warmth

    • Character: Softened acidity boosts sweetness. 

    The processing pushes big tropical aromatics forward, but the structure stays balanced — no fermenty edge, no muddiness.
    Exactly the kind of profile that translates beautifully through freeze-drying.

    Why It Works So Well as Instant

    Natural processed coffees with strong fruit character tend to:

    • Retain aromatics during freeze-drying

    • Hold sweetness even at lower concentrations

    • Produce expressive cold drinks

    • Deliver a “filter-like” cup without equipment

    This one was a standout from the first tray I pulled out.

    Because instant doesn’t mean guesswork.
