INTRO — Specialty Instant Coffee Reimagined

Onyx Coffee Lab is delighted to introduce Instant Krampus — a bold and fl avour-rich instant coffee that defies expectations of soluble brews. Building on Onyx’s decades-long expertise in sourcing and roasting world-class coffees, this product brings the depth, nuance, and character of specialty coffee into a ready-to-brew instant format that dissolves quickly in hot water or milk with no compromise on quality or complexity.

Inspired by a playful holiday tale — where Krampus scorched Onyx’s prized Kenyan peaberries — what remains is surprisingly delicious and compelling, boasting layers of deep chocolate, burnt citrus, and warm spice in every cup.

THE PRODUCER — Rungeto Factory Peaberries from Kenya

This coffee begins its journey at the Rungeto Factory in Kenya’s Kii Cooperative, known for producing standout peaberry lots. Peaberries — naturally occurring single, round beans found in roughly 10% of coffee cherries — are prized for their concentrated sweetness and density, which translate into intense flavour in both traditional roast and instant preparations.

Onyx’s long-standing sourcing relationships in Kenya allow them to select peak peaberry outturns from this cooperative, ensuring that even an instant coffee retains traceable origin and specialty pedigree.

THE PROCESS — From Bean to Instant Brilliance

Instant Krampus is crafted from a dark roast of Kenyan peaberries, processed and roasted with the same care Onyx applies to its whole-bean offerings. The beans are:

🍒 Sourced from premium peaberry outturns at Rungeto Factory
🔥 Dark roasted expressively to develop rich, caramelised sugars and deep cocoa tones
⚗️ Converted to soluble through precise preparation and drying so each sachet dissolves cleanly
☕ Pre-portioned for consistency — each packet contains a measured dose for reliable flavour every time

The result is a specialty-grade instant coffee that captures the essence of a dark roast Kenyan cup — with depth, sweetness, and a bold profile you can enjoy anywhere.

THE CUP — Dark & Dessert-Like with Citrus Spark

In the cup, Instant Krampus delivers a surprisingly layered sensory experience. Its expressive dark roast foundation is complemented by bright fruit highlights and rich, indulgent sweetness — a profile that belies its instant format.

Flavour Notes

🔥 Brûléed Grapefruit — smoky citrus brightness
🍫 Chocolate Cake — rich, dessert-like cocoa depth
🍂 Tobacco — earthy warmth and rounded spice
🥃 Burnt Sugar — lingering sweet finish

Even with less than 25 mg of caffeine per 12 oz cup (depending on serving size), this coffee has full flavour and satisfying presence — ideal for mornings, evenings, or anytime you crave something robust without the fuss of brewing.
