Mount Hagen Organic Café Freeze-Dried Instant Coffee

—by Katharine Holden

This coffee is billed as “the first certified organic freeze dried coffee in the world.” That’s nice, but I’m more intrigued by the manufacturer’s claim that this instant coffee is rich tasting and not bitter. In my experience, instant coffee either tastes as if it’s made of something akin to cactus or it has no taste whatsoever. Will the German-produced Mount Hagen instant coffee change all that? You have your choice of 100g jars or boxes of 25 single coffee packets. For more info, visit Wertform, a leading producer of organically certified coffee specialities.
