"Caramel-toned, richly sweet. Dark caramel, magnolia-like flowers, cedar, baker’s chocolate, a hint of apricot in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned in structure with brisk acidity; smooth mouthfeel. The finish is crisply sweet and resonant, with lingering notes of caramel and apricot."

"While most instant coffees have 'chalky' taste, Waka Coffee proves that coffee can be both instant and high quality. You'll be able to notice a myriad of flavorful tones that are caramelly, sweet, and smooth. The finish also has some nice fruity tones. We're big fans of Waka Coffee, and we also love that they donate 4% of each sale to support clean water projects."

"I highly-recommend Waka Coffee to those who have been looking for a solid balance between quality and affordability in their instant coffee."

"I was a little skeptical, but I have to admit – it was a darn good cup of coffee... it’s definitely a solid option to have in the cupboard when you’re in a hurry. Waka is also a business with a purpose – providing clean water to those who need it."

"It has a rich balanced taste, but without acidic tones compare to some types of instant coffee. All beans are 100% arabica."

"It was easily drinkable and not at all sour and bitter like most instant coffees. Overall, if you’re looking for an instant coffee, this would be a great one to try."

"Overall, I can’t find anything negative to say about this coffee. The Indian coffee is perfect for me on a trip. It has a very smooth, sweet smell and taste to it. If I’m stuck somewhere I cannot get to milk and flavoring or sugar, I can drink this straight."

"It has a light, citrusy, well-rounded flavor profile that exceeds many expensive coffee shop drinks I have had. Being a lighter roast, it would be ideal to drink black or with minimal dairy."

"After enjoying the bold flavor, I noticed it quickly tapered into a smooth and balanced aftertaste where subtle citrus notes were readily discernible. I was impressed by how true this coffee remained to the traditional coffee experience."

"Waka tastes nice and in some cases better than the brewed coffee I've had but overall pretty much on par with brewed coffee... Overall, Waka is a high-quality instant coffee and seems like it would be great for camping trips and other occasions when brewing coffee isn't an option."

"No soapy aroma, and a nice balance of butterscotch sweetness with a subtle citrus/orange acidity... I was able to drink this black with no complaints – there was zero bitterness and no unpleasant flavors that I would have felt the need to cover up with milk/sugar."
