Saltwinds Coffee Company: “Ocean Air” Coffee, created by Saltwinds Coffee co-founder Brad Rideout and chemist Dr. Laura Richard, is inspired by a historical tale of coffee shipped to Canada on wooden sailing vessels. The story recounts how the ocean air infused the coffee during these voyages, creating a superior flavor lost when steel ships became the norm. In 2021, Dr. Richard successfully recreated this effect through the “Ocean Air Infusion” process. This innovative technique profoundly enhances the coffee’s flavor profile, resulting in a richer, fuller-bodied brew that evokes the taste of historically superior coffee.
