Ceylon Coffee From Sri Lanka
Before Sri Lanka became a global household name thanks to Ceylon Tea, the island was known for planting coffee as a commercial crop in the late 1700s. At its peak, Sri Lanka had 275,000 acres of land dedicated to coffee cultivation. The industry grew over the years until, in the 1800s, an unforeseen coffee rust brought the prospering production of Ceylon Coffee to a grinding halt.
Today, Sri Lanka is seeing a revival in coffee production fueled by globalization, education, traceability, and industry best practices. At the forefront of this evolution is Department of Coffee, shaping the island’s re-emerging coffee culture to offer a variety of unparalleled experiences fit for any enthusiast.
