Instant Coffee, Original Blend

Alpine Start is premium instant coffee made from high-altitude Colombian Arabica beans, and it was dreamed up by a professional climber, which is exactly the kind of detail your climber will appreciate. Just add hot or cold water and it dissolves clean, with none of the bitter, stale taste people expect from instant.

Climbers love it because the best days start early. Think pre-dawn 'alpine starts,' frosty mornings at the crag, and nights in a tent miles from the nearest cafe. Real coffee gear is heavy and fussy out there. This packs down to nothing, weighs almost nothing, and gives them a hot, good cup of coffee anywhere they can boil water.

As a rock climbing gift it's both a treat and a practical pick. It's useful on every camping and climbing trip, and it comes from a brand made by someone who actually lives the lifestyle. Hard to go wrong.
