Devon Air Ambulance’s Crew’s Brew Coffee scoops gold

Devon Air Ambulance announced their partnership with Owen’s Organic Coffee in 2023 and the product, named Crew’s Brew, has since been sold in all the charity's retail shops and online to raise much needed funds.

Now, Crew’s Brew has been awarded a Gold Award for its taste and quality in the 2024 Taste of the West Awards!

Taste of the West has been promoting and supporting the South West food and drink industry for over 30 years. Products are tried and tested by industry experts.  

Pete Vallance, Head of Business Development for DAA said: "To be judged as part of the Taste of the West competition and to have won a Gold Award confirms that not only is the product doing good by raising funds, but it's gold standard taste and quality makes it a product worthy of a Regional Produce award."

Lorraine Bridden, Owner and Managing Director of Owens Coffee said: "We are so pleased to hear that Crew's Brew, the coffee we have roasted for Devon Air Ambulance, has been awarded Gold at the Taste of the West Awards. This recognition reflects the dedication and care we pour into every batch of our coffee!

"When Devon Air Ambulance approached us to create a blend for them, we were honoured to collaborate with this essential service that supports our local community and visitors.

"It’s so rewarding to see Crew's Brew is not only enjoyed by their supporters, but that it is also playing a crucial role in raising funds to keep the air ambulances operational. We are especially grateful to the Devon Air Ambulance team for recognising the importance of our commitment to organic, Fairtrade, and specialty coffee, which aligns with their values and the quality they seek, and for choosing to work locally with us as a Devon-based business."

Devon Air Ambulance’s Crew’s Brew coffee pouches can be purchased at any of the charity’s 20 high street shops and online at www.shopddat.org, enabling supporters and coffee-lovers to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee whilst also giving back to their local Air Ambulance charity.
