Blue Bottle Coffee

We’re proud to share one of our biggest achievements yet: In 2024, Blue Bottle Coffee achieved carbon neutrality. Since committing to this goal in 2021, we’ve reduced our greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 18.4% vs. our 2018 baseline, and compensated for remaining emissions with high-quality carbon credits. But we’re not stopping there. Our new goal is to contribute to the future of coffee by embedding resilience at Origin and sparking innovation in the cup. As climate change reshapes coffee production, we’re working alongside farmers to help shore up soil health, embrace coffee's genetic diversity, and strengthen communities — ensuring coffee has a future for generations to come.

This year, we continued our journey with Blue Bottle Studio, a series of intimate residencies created to share the pinnacle of our craft through a tasting menu unlike anything else in specialty coffee. Each residency is designed with intention: a small group of guests, a set time to pause, and a progression of drinks that trace the story of coffee – from seed to flower, cherry to bean. We hosted residencies in Seoul and Kyoto earlier in the year, and are now welcoming guests once again in Kyoto (through December 1) and Hong Kong (through October 26). The current menu turns our attention to species beyond Arabica, including Liberica and Excelsa. Rarely experienced at a specialty level, these coffees carry expressive flavors of fruit, grain, and tropical depth. They offer a glimpse of coffee's tomorrow: more diverse, more sustainable, and filled with new stories. For us, Studio is about creating space for curiosity, discovery, and connection, bringing guests closer to what makes coffee so endlessly compelling.

Coffee is precious. As climate change threatens the Arabica species, Blue Bottle is focused on advancing options for farmers so coffee can be not just viable but a promising future for generations to come. In this era of accelerated climate change, members of our team traveled to Lima, Peru, for a fireside chat with Latin American coffee producers and industry experts, from botanists to chemical engineers and green coffee traders, to investigate the sustainability of the coffee business. Our Sustainability Manager outlined Blue Bottle's sharpened focus on enhancing resilience within coffee landscapes where we buy through regenerative agriculture, and we saw firsthand how farmers' access to improved varieties is helping producers adapt to climate risks. Our Sr. Director of Global Coffee Experience sat down with the Head of Coffee Research for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, to further discuss the role of species beyond Arabica in providing another layer of protection and promise for farmers facing climate risks such as pests, disease, and extreme weather events. At Blue Bottle, we're introducing more species on our menu and redefining "quality" in a sector long beholden to Arabica. We are also supporting innovation within Arabica as our suppliers experiment in post-harvest processing and host variety trials exploring new possibilities in coffee. We are excited to showcase the results as producers innovate and bring a fresh perspective on deliciousness for coffee drinkers everywhere.  

We’ve opened our newest cafe in Osaka, just steps from Osaka Station. Created in collaboration with Keiji Ashizawa Design, the cafe is inspired by the city’s culture and landmarks — from an octagonal community table and brass pendant light echoing Tsutenkaku Tower to a golden coffee bar that nods to the opulence of Osaka Castle. The result is a space that balances modern design with warmth: concrete softened by washi paper lights, upholstered seating, and natural woods, all crafted to create a tranquil refuge in the heart of the city. We look forward to welcoming our community in Osaka to gather, reflect, and connect over coffee.

At Blue Bottle, hospitality has always meant more than what happens inside our cafes. It’s about care, connection, and the small gestures that turn coffee into something shared. Our new membership program, available in the redesigned Blue Bottle mobile app, was created to carry that spirit forward. Every purchase brings members closer to a reward, whether that means treating yourself or gifting a drink to a friend. Because generosity is built in, it takes fewer points to give than to receive. With surprise perks and thoughtful details along the way, membership is another way we’re welcoming guests more deeply into the Blue Bottle community — turning everyday rituals into opportunities to connect.
