Korean Coffee Jelly | Chewy Agar Candy | 8.81 oz

Kosbee Korean Coffee Jelly is a chewy agar candy made in Korea by Ilkwang Confectionery (일광제과), flavored with real instant coffee for a deep, roasted coffee taste — individually wrapped and sourced by Kosbee.

Each 8.81 oz (250 g) bag holds individually wrapped pieces with a rich, roasted coffee flavor and a firm, satisfying chew. It's a grown-up, not-too-sweet treat made for coffee lovers and slow afternoons.

Deep, Roasted Coffee Flavor

Made with real instant coffee (3%, from 100% coffee beans), this jelly has a deep, roasted, lightly bitter coffee taste rather than a flat, sugary one. A touch of caramel color gives it a rich, dark look, and it dissolves into a chewy, mellow finish.

Chewy Agar Texture, Not Gelatin

Instead of gelatin, these jellies are set with agar, a plant-based gelling agent from seaweed. Agar gives the candy its distinctive Korean texture — firm and springy at first, then satisfyingly chewy — and makes it a friendly option for those who prefer to skip animal-based gelatin.

Individually Wrapped for On-the-Go Freshness

Every piece is individually wrapped, so the jellies stay fresh and tidy in a bag, desk drawer, or coat pocket. Take one for the commute, share a few at the office, and keep the rest sealed — easy to portion and mess-free.

Made by Ilkwang Confectionery Since 1969

Ilkwang Confectionery (일광제과) has been making Korean candy since 1969, and this coffee jelly carries that long-honed know-how. It's produced in a HACCP-certified facility — a food-safety standard that verifies hygienic, consistent manufacturing from start to finish.

What's Inside Every Coffee Jelly

Real Instant Coffee

Instant coffee made from 100% coffee beans (3%) gives the candy its deep, roasted coffee flavor.

Agar (Plant-Based)

A seaweed-derived gelling agent used instead of gelatin, giving the jelly its firm-then-chewy Korean texture.

A Lighter Sweetness

At about 50 calories per 14 g piece, it's an easy, not-too-sweet treat to enjoy one or two at a time.

Korea's love of coffee runs deep, from old-school dabang coffee houses to today's café culture. Ilkwang captures that rich, roasted flavor in a chewy, individually wrapped jelly you can enjoy anywhere.

How to Enjoy Korean Coffee Jelly

• Straight from the wrapper: Open a piece and enjoy — no prep needed.
• With or after coffee: Pair one with your afternoon cup, or enjoy it as a coffee-flavored finish to a meal.
• Chew slowly: Bite gently and chew well rather than swallowing whole.

Allergen and Safety Information

It is also made in a facility that processes wheat, peanut, peach, milk, shellfish (abalone), and fish, so trace cross-contact is possible. It is not certified allergen-free. The jelly is firm and chewy, so chew gently and slowly, take care if you have dental work or sensitive teeth, and do not swallow pieces whole.
