Their story

KimlyParc is the work of Chae Song and Youngjoo Kim, friends since childhood in Korea. Growing up, instant coffee packets were everywhere, in home kitchens, restaurants and vending machines, and they became the founders' first taste of coffee.

Years later, with Chae living in New York, the two wanted a quick coffee for busy mornings that still tasted like a good cafe cup. Home brewing and other instant mixes fell short, so they set out to make their own, drawing on that early memory.

The line now includes an Original Korean Latte, a goguma sweet potato latte and craft instant espresso and decaf.

How it's made

KimlyParc's lattes come in single-serve packets that dissolve in seconds. The Original Korean Latte blends instant coffee with a vegan creamer and organic sugar, so it works for anyone avoiding dairy. Packaging uses FSC-certified paper and soy-based ink.

Why we carry them

We like KimlyParc for a sweet, creamy cup in under a minute; it tastes like a Seoul cafe latte and travels well in a bag.
