Where this crazy idea began
"We have been investing for several years to rethink the value chain and make it sustainable and this innovation is part of that commitment. Since coffee trees do not grow in cold regions like ours, it is inevitable that the harvested coffee beans are transported over long distances. Our investment in this innovative project will allow us to considerably reduce our carbon footprint and, along with our other projects, to eventually produce a zero-emission coffee, a first in the coffee world on an industrial scale"
Serge Picard, owner of Café William.
Now available in limited quantities
As part of a revolutionary movement towards a more sustainable coffee supply, we are proud to announce that our first cargo sailboat set sail from the port of Santa Marta in Colombia on December 15th, 2023, bound for North America. The journey of a lifetime, years in the making.

A zero-emission cargo ship, transporting sustainable beans from coffee farmers in South America to coffee lovers in North America, is part of our initiative to reduce the carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices throughout our supply chain. This environmentally friendly shipping aligns with our innovative vision of always acting beyond the cup.
