Fresh Coffee, Clean Ocean: Sailing Our Coffee’s Path to a Sustainable Future

At Blommers, we believe every sourcing choice has the power to move us toward a sustainable future. Together with Belco Green, we’re excited to be part of their Fresh Coffee Clean Ocean initiative—a project that reimagines coffee’s journey from farm to cup. This collaboration uses wind-powered shipping to minimise environmental impact while maintaining quality. It’s a return to the natural elegance of sailing, ensuring that every bag of coffee arrives with its character intact and with a lighter environmental footprint.

A Journey Powered by Wind and Purpose

The cargo sailboat Anemos has completed its first journey back from Colombia, carrying fresh, green coffee powered solely by the wind. The Anemos reduces carbon emissions by up to 90%, a shift we believe is essential in reshaping coffee's environmental impact. Transported at a stable 20°C in ventilated holds, the unroasted coffee maintains its freshness and vibrancy, preserving the quality that defines each cup.

Why Choose Sailing?

Traditional transport methods often leave a significant carbon footprint, damaging the waters and ecosystems we rely on. By choosing sailing, we join Belco Green in shifting toward an eco-friendly supply chain, embracing thoughtful sourcing, respect for nature, and a commitment to communities growing our coffee.

Eco-friendly Transport: Committed to Protecting Oceans and Reducing Emissions

• Reducing Noise Pollution: Container ships generate twice the noise of an authorized nightclub, disrupting marine life. Wind-powered transport keeps these waters quiet and undisturbed.
• Switching to Renewable Energy: Traditional transport depends heavily on oil prices. Wind energy is sustainable, reliable, and independent.
• Direct Shipment to Belco Green’s Docks: Unlike cargo ships carrying various goods to multiple ports, our coffee is directly shipped to Belco Green’s docks, streamlining the journey and preserving freshness by avoiding extended travel times.

A Cup with Purpose

When you drink this coffee, you’re part of a meaningful journey. This isn’t just about an outstanding taste; it’s about making choices that benefit the planet and support communities dedicated to sustainable practices. At Blommers, we’re always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, believing every choice matters in shaping the future of coffee.

We’re excited to welcome this wind-powered coffee to Blommers later this year. Join us in experiencing the impact of coffee that’s responsibly sourced and sustainably transported.
