From the roaster

  • INSTANT COFFEE THAT DOESN’T TASTE LIKE IT: When you need that coffee boost and you need it quickly, choose Mount Hagen. Our advanced freeze-drying process retains the true coffee flavors and aromas of the fresh Arabica beans, resulting in a wonderfully smooth coffee with a rich, full-bodied taste. Plus, our instant coffee dissolves beautifully in cold water or milk for instant iced coffee.
  • CONVENIENT & AFFORDABLE 12 PACK: Forget costly brew equipment or coffee machines taking up prime counter space. With Mount Hagen’s multipack compact 3.53oz glass jar of organic coffee, all you need is hot water and you have (approx) 50 cups of flavorful coffee per compact 3.53oz glass jar. And the best part- no cleanup required!
  • AWARD-WINNING: Mount Hagen consistently tops lists of best instant organic coffees, becoming many a connoisseur's favorite joe-on-the-go. (Google it, and you’ll see!) Our superior instant coffee is made from 100% USDA Organic, Fairtrade Arabica beans. Mount Hagen coffee is also gluten-free and certified OU Kosher.
  • MASTERS OF OUR CRAFT: A sip of our balanced, smooth instant coffee is a taste of its history in the lush mountains around Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea. Since 1986, we’ve been perfecting our brew so you can enjoy its naturally mild taste with low acidity & no bitterness.
  • MOUNT HAGEN: The trailblazer of organic Fair Trade coffee production, we pride ourselves on coffee that not only tastes good but DOES good too. Every granule of our organic Fair Trade coffee is planted, cultivated, harvested, processed and packaged by workers being paid fairly and respectably; families thriving on the infrastructure we provide; and communities gaining the power of education, health and hope.

    Great coffee, shipping perfect most times other than once

    We really do love this coffee. No bitterness and taste is awesome. It’s great hot or cold mixes so easily using cold water it’s organic which is great and we’ve ordered this countless amounts of times but our most recent order had all the caps to the jars broken. The seals were still on though.
