The premium coffee and tea brand adds functional and traditionally inspired instant products to its established lineup, available now at WakaCoffee.com and major online marketplaces. Waka Coffee & Tea is also expanding its retail footprint, now available in Target and Meijer stores for the first time, adding to its existing presence at Walmart and online marketplaces nationwide, with more additions to the portfolio planned for later in 2026.

IRWINDALE, CA / June 1, 2026 / Waka Coffee & Tea, a nationally recognized premium coffee and tea brand, today announced the addition of new products to its portfolio, adding functional and traditionally inspired instant beverages to its established lineup. The new additions include prebiotic black and green instant tea powders, and spiced and sweetened Café de Olla-style instant coffee and tea blends.

Since its early days, Waka Coffee & Tea has built a loyal following among consumers who want high-quality, convenient coffee and tea without compromise. These new additions deepen that commitment, giving those same consumers more of what they already reach for, now with ingredients many have long been adding on their own, like fiber, spices, and a touch of sweetness, built right in.

Functional coffee and tea mixes represent one of the fastest-growing segments in the beverage industry. Waka Coffee & Tea's addition of instant prebiotic teas brings the accessibility and convenience the brand is known for to consumers searching for an easy way to add more fiber to their daily routines, such as with a cup of tea. Waka's prebiotic tea powders are easy to make hot or iced, at home or on the go. Simply mix the soluble powder with water, stir, and enjoy.

Waka Coffee & Tea's Café de Olla-style instant blends bring the warmth of a traditionally spiced, lightly sweetened brew to everyday coffee and tea routines, with no stovetop or extra ingredients required. Inspired by the classic Mexican drink, Waka's instant versions deliver a rich, flavored cup in seconds. For consumers who have been mixing spices and sweeteners into their Waka coffees and teas at home, these blends do that work for them.

Making premium coffee and tea easier also means making Waka easier to find. Now available in Target and Meijer stores for the first time, the brand continues to grow its retail presence alongside its existing distribution at Walmart, independent retailers, and major online marketplaces nationwide.

The brand also confirmed that additional coffee and tea products are in development, with further additions to the Waka Coffee & Tea portfolio planned for later in 2026, reflecting the brand's ongoing commitment to making consumers' coffee and tea routines easier, more flavorful, and more convenient.

"Our goal is to make our consumers' day just a bit easier," said David Kovalevski, Founder and CEO of Waka Coffee & Tea. "We've been engaging with our customers and learning how they've been drinking our instant teas and coffees. We know they were already adding functional ingredients to our powders, as well as mixing in spices and sweeteners. These products represent our commitment to continue innovating to serve them better and save them even more time and money on their daily tea or coffee routines."
