Sail Ship (Filter)

£11.95

Milk Chocolate, Brazil Nut, Raisin

Sail Ship is a curation of the finest varietals from the Menezes Ribeiro family farm, consciously processed and transported by sail across the Atlantic Ocean.

Our filter roast has a smooth profile, with mellow notes of milk chocolate, Brazil nut and raisin, meticulously roasted to suit filter brewing methods.

Shipped from Brazil to France, Sail Ship forms part of a larger project with likeminded partners who are addressing the carbon emissions associated with traditional coffee transportation. The initiative sees coffee and other cargo shipped by state of the art, wind-powered sailing vessels, that reduce carbon emissions by 4x when compared to average diesel-powered sea freight.

A Commitment to Excellence

Championing speciality coffee from every angle, at every step of the journey. Starting at the source and working with the seasons. Holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards of social and environmental performance. Every sip of our coffee is a result of years of dedication to seasonality, provenance and sustainability.

Why Ship Coffee by Sail?

One of the biggest challenges in achieving carbon neutrality for coffee is transportation. With maritime transport emissions accounting for 3% of CO2 emissions and a staggering 20% of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions worldwide, Sailboats are gaining traction as an alternative, sustainable cargo transport option. * Sail cargo can achieve between a 95%-84% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to average container carriers. This means, our Sail Ship coffee could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 3.9 tonnes CO2e per container, when compared to average diesel-powered sea freight.**

Producers

Third-generation coffee farmers and brothers Fernando and Felipe Menezes Ribeiro converted their family's São Paulo farm from commodity to specialty coffee production back in 2018. This transition has helped them command premium prices for their product, ensuring a better livelihood for their community of dedicated workers. With a focus on responsible land stewardship, the brothers cultivate coffee on their 150-hectare plot in Brazil's lush Mogiana region, ensuring the coffee plants coexist harmoniously with native woodland and wild flora.

FAQ

A: While our goal is direct sail freight to Falmouth for maximum environmental impact, this initial 19-tonne shipment by sail from Brazil to France is a critical learning phase. So, while not perfect at this stage, we have been able to test the new system with a significant volume. Working closely with our partners BELCO, we're actively building upon and refining our operational logistics, paving the way for future shipments to sail directly to Cornwall.

A: Having crossed the Atlantic from Brazil, the sailing vessel docked at the port of Le Havre. At BELCO's warehouse, also in Le Havre, the coffee then underwent thorough in-house quality checks. From there, it was transported to our Cornwall roastery via a combination of ferry and road travel.

A: 2024 was our first year shipping coffee by sail and we’re proud to have transported 19 tonnes (1x container) in this way. In 2025, we will be shipping a minimum of 2x containers by sail.

A: Sail cargo can achieve between a 95%-84% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to average container carriers. This means, our Sail Ship coffee could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 3.9 tonnes CO2e per container, when compared to average diesel-powered sea freight. This calculation applies to sea freight only and additional factors such as road logistics will contribute to overall emissions savings. Please see our sources page for further reading.

A: Wind-powered ships eliminate the sulphur dioxide emissions and greatly reduce the noise pollution associated with conventional diesel-powered sea cargo.

A: Several factors contribute to the higher cost of coffee shipped by sail compared to conventional cargo ships, including smaller cargo hold capacities and underdeveloped infrastructure. Given that the revival of sail ship transportation is still in its infancy, we would expect these costs to decrease as the demand for coffee shipped in this way, and the availability of vessels grow.
