At Wavi Coffee, the ocean is our constant source of inspiration. Living by the sea, we're reminded daily of its beauty and fragility, which drives us to do better in everything we do. Whether we’re swimming, surfing, or clearing away bits of plastic from the shoreline, our commitment to protecting the environment is at the heart of our business.
We've made it our mission to source 90% of our products from Westcountry small and independent businesses. This keeps our food miles low, our carbon footprint smaller, and helps to sustain the local economy. By shopping ethically and supporting local suppliers, we ensure that money cycles back into our communities, building stronger ties with those around us.
We’re hands-on with every product we offer, often baking our own goods to reduce waste and control quality. We’ve put our friends, family, and neighbours through countless taste tests, ensuring everything is as delicious as it is responsibly sourced.
Going Beyond Plastic-Free
It’s not enough to just avoid plastic. We’re working towards making as much as possible in-house, and when we can't, we partner with local suppliers who share our vision of a waste-free future. Most of our packaging is either reusable or recyclable, and wherever possible, we reuse the packaging from our suppliers to package our own products. This means less waste and more thoughtful use of resources. From our takeaway cups, lids, and stirrers (all home compostable) to our glassine cake bags and napkins, we aim for zero waste.
Fair Wages & Ethical Coffee
Brewing great coffee isn’t just about taste; it’s about fairness and transparency from farm to cup. We partner with Origin Coffee Roasters, a certified B Corporation, to bring you high-quality coffee that's grown with care. Origin ensures fair wages and ethical working conditions for farmers, many of whom cultivate coffee on nutrient-rich lands that have been farmed by their families for generations. This deep respect for the growers and the land makes our coffee not just delicious but ethically sourced and environmentally sound.
We’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what sustainability means for a small business. Our journey is ongoing, but every day we strive to make Wavi Coffee a more thoughtful and impactful part of our community and the planet.
