Ipswich Town fans can enjoy a new Blues blend of coffee at Portman Road – with money from sales used to support veterans.
Combat2Coffee, based in Ipswich, has partnered with the club to launch the aptly-named Cuppa Towen bespoke brew.
It was first available at Saturday's game with Stoke City in the Sir Bobby Robson Stand Upper bar and the FanZone outside Portman Road.
It was developed with the help of senior members of the club, after Combat2Coffee founder Nigel Seaman hosted a tasting session to create the perfect matchday roast.
Money raised through sales of the drink will support Combat2Coffee’s work helping veterans and prisoners with their mental health.
Mr Seaman launched the social enterprise back in 2018, having experienced post-traumatic stress disorder after leaving the army.
Combat2Coffee has been the club’s sole supplier of coffee since the start of the 2022/23 season, with Cuppa Towen now available in all corporate and executive areas, the Bobby Robson Suite and media room, as wellas the Playford Road training ground.
Mr Seaman said: "All of us at Combat2Coffee are so excited to see Cuppa Towen available at Portman Road.
"It was great to hear how much the Blue Army loved it.
"Every cup sold helps veterans like me who have experienced mental ill health and aids us on our mission to reach all those in need of support.
"The club have been huge supporters and we are so thankful for their continued backing."
Stuart Cox, director of venue at Ipswich Town, added: "Helping develop this coffee with Combat2Coffee has been a fantastic opportunity for the club.
"To pick something unique for our staff, customers and stakeholders is something we have never done before.
"Cuppa Towen means we as a club are also helping to change the world, one sip at a time."
