Our Story
What is Sea Arch, and where our story began.
How we make it
Sea Arch is named after an iconic rock formation found on our favourite stretch of coastline in Devon. The waves have washed away some of the cliff to create something truly stunning – a natural stone arch in the ocean, made beautiful because of what nature has taken away.
Our non-alcoholic distilled spirit is made using traditional distillation techniques. We extract the flavours from each of our botanicals, then the alcohol is gently removed. It really is more beautiful without.
At the first sip, aromatic juniper and bitter grapefruit give a clean, crisp taste. Then comes the sweetness and spice of blood orange and coriander. Our distinctively fresh coastal notes and Devon character are supplied by the wild seaside herbs of sugar kelp and samphire. Cardamon ensures a balanced, warm finish.
Serve Sea Arch Coastal Juniper on the rocks with a premium tonic for our classic Sea & T or mix it in cocktails for a feel-good tipple that tastes delicious and alcohol-free.
Why Sea Arch?
Many people are becoming more discerning about what they eat and drink, checking provenance and labels, cutting back on unhealthy foods, sugar and alcohol. We are all trying to be healthier. Sea Arch supports these beliefs and our ingredients are all-natural botanicals, including hand-harvested sugar kelp and samphire, juniper, blood orange, cardamon coriander, grapefruit, lemon and sage.
Living by the ocean as we do, we are acutely aware of protecting the natural world around us. That’s why we won’t ever have single-use plastic in our packaging. It’s why we use recycled cardboard for our boxes and solvent-free paint on our bottles.
In everything we do, always aim for Sea Arch to have the lowest possible impact on the environment. Let’s just say, it comes naturally to us.
Causes We Love
The Seahorse Trust
We’re really excited to have teamed up with The Seahorse Trust to help raise awareness of the important work they do and generate funds to support them.
The Seahorse Trust was set up in 1999 as an umbrella organisation to preserve and conserve the natural world, especially the marine environment, using seahorses as their flagship species. The charity works with people, organisations and governments around the world, focusing on the conservation of seahorses and the preservation of their natural habitats.
Seahorses tend to live in coastal areas and unfortunately many of these areas are under threat, being vulnerable to human and natural interference. The Trust strives to protect these fragile eco-systems through education, conservation and lobbying activity.
Sea Arch Drinks is based by the coast in Devon and we are passionate about protecting our natural world, which is why The Seahorse Trust’s work really resonates with us. All of our packaging is plastic-free as well as being recyclable or compostable, even the paint on our bottles is solvent-free. This is all part of a promise we have made to ensure that our brand has the lowest possible impact on the environment.
Like us, The Seahorse Trust is based in Devon, which makes us feel even more proud to support the valuable work they’re doing. One of their study sites is located very near to the natural sea arch in Torbay that was the inspiration for our brand name, with both British seahorse species found living there, as well as elsewhere around the Devon and UK coastlines.
As part of this new partnership, we’re becoming a member of the Trust and will be donating funds to support their initiatives, as well as offering our customers the opportunity to donate to this very worthy cause. Keep an eye on our social media pages for further information about seahorses, The Seahorse Trust, and how you can get involved.
