Joe's Blend Coffee, box of 10

A typical 3-in-1 is instant coffee, creamer and sugar, and the sachet is mostly the last two. Joe's Blend is built the other way round: 100% Arabica first, then a non-dairy creamer and raw sugarcane, plus L-theanine, L-glutathione and L-carnitine. Read the label before you decide; ours is printed in full on this page.

Instant coffee is brewed coffee that has been dried, so what matters is what went into the cup before drying. Joe's Blend uses a medium roast 100% Arabica base and adds three amino acids in a 21 g sachet. We do not add artificial colour. Every ingredient is listed under Read the label.

It depends what you want from the cup. If you want a 3-in-1 that is 100% Arabica, works hot or iced, and carries L-theanine, L-glutathione and L-carnitine in one sachet, that is exactly what we make. Joe's Blend is poured daily at our own cafe in Davao City, so you can taste it before you order a box.

Joe's Blend is. The coffee in every sachet is 100% Arabica, medium roast. Most instant and 3-in-1 sachets in the Philippines use Robusta or a Robusta blend because it is cheaper and stronger in caffeine. Arabica is smoother and lower in acidity, which is why we chose it.

Arabica grows at higher altitude, tastes sweeter and smoother with notes of chocolate and fruit, and has roughly half the caffeine of Robusta. Robusta is hardier, more bitter, higher in caffeine and cheaper, which is why it fills most mass-market sachets. Joe's Blend is Arabica only.

Brewed coffee gives you control and freshness; instant gives you 30 seconds and no equipment. A good instant starts from good beans, which is why the base of Joe's Blend is 100% Arabica rather than a blend. If you want the ritual of brewing, visit the cafe. If you want the same coffee at your desk, the sachet is for that.

L-theanine is the amino acid found naturally in green tea. Research on the caffeine and L-theanine pairing has looked at attention and alertness, and people often describe the combination as a smoother, steadier kind of energy than coffee alone. We describe what the studies discuss; we do not promise how you will feel.

Each sachet is 21 g of medium roast Arabica blend. The exact L-theanine and caffeine figures come from the certificate of analysis for the batch, and we publish them on this page as each batch is released. Arabica naturally carries less caffeine than Robusta, so expect a gentler lift than a Robusta 3-in-1.

L-theanine has been studied at daily amounts and is sold on its own as a supplement in the Philippines. We are a coffee, not a clinic: one sachet is one serving, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or managing a condition, ask your doctor before adding anything to your routine, coffee included.

Glutathione is a tripeptide the body makes itself, built from three amino acids, and it is studied mainly as an antioxidant. It is a familiar name in the Philippines because of capsules and drips. We put it in the sachet so the daily coffee habit carries it; we make no claim about what it will do for you.

No, Joe's Blend is not sold as a whitening coffee, and we do not make skin whitening claims. Philippine advertising rules bar whitening claims on food products, and we follow them. What we can say is that glutathione is studied as an antioxidant and that it is in every sachet. Anything beyond that is a claim we will not make.

In Joe's Blend the two are already in the same sachet, and thousands of cups have been poured that way at our cafe and at home. If you also take glutathione capsules, drips or other supplements, tell your doctor what you are combining; we do not give supplement advice.

L-carnitine is a compound the body makes from two amino acids. Its job in the cell is transport: it carries fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are turned into energy. That is the mechanism the research describes, and it is why the ingredient appears in so many products. It is in every Joe's Blend sachet.

The FDA registers food products; it does not approve slimming claims, and it has issued public warnings against unregistered slimming coffees. Check any product, ours included, at verification.fda.gov.ph using the CPR number in its footer. Joe's Blend is not marketed as a slimming coffee. It is an Arabica coffee with three added amino acids.

No. We do not sell weight loss and we do not promise it. Joe's Blend is a 100% Arabica coffee with L-theanine, L-glutathione and L-carnitine, and we describe each ingredient by what research discusses about it, nothing more. If a coffee promises you will lose weight, that is the claim to be careful with.

Calories in any 3-in-1 come from the creamer and sugar. Joe's Blend uses raw sugarcane and a non-dairy creamer, and the nutrition panel for the 21 g sachet is printed on the box and published here from the certificate of analysis. One cup a day is a small part of anyone's total; the rest of the day decides the rest.

Dissolve the sachet in about 80 ml of hot water first, so the coffee and creamer melt fully. Fill a tall glass with ice, pour the coffee over it, then top with cold water or milk and stir. For hot, use 150 ml of hot water and stir for ten seconds. Both take under a minute.

Yes. Every box carries a best-before date and a lot number on the side panel. Keep the sachets sealed, dry and out of direct sun; a kitchen cupboard is fine, a car dashboard is not. An unopened sachet keeps its flavour until the printed date.
