Instant coffee often conjures images of fast-drinkable Folger’s rather than freshly-brewed cups of joe, yet there is also an organic variety available that’s more nutritious and provides additional health benefits.

Regular and organic instant coffee differ in terms of ingredients in terms of how their beans are farmed, specifically with regards to pesticide use or any chemicals being added into their production processes – these substances can absorb by plants and pose health risks, with organic products often prohibiting GMO use altogether.

Most brands of organic instant coffee will also be non-GMO, an increasingly popular certification among consumers. Furthermore, the top organic instant coffee options will also be free from preservatives or artificial flavorings which could compromise its taste.

There are also organic instant coffee brands that are Fair Trade certified, contributing to a more sustainable global economy by upholding ethical working conditions and encouraging environmental stewardship. Though usually more costly than their conventional counterparts, these instant coffees provide an excellent way for individuals to do their part for both planet and its inhabitants.
