Our Coffee Story

Although Sri Lanka is chiefly known for its world-famous Ceylon Tea, not many know the island was home to a thriving coffee industry that was famed for producing a splendid brew, many years before tea arrived on its shores. 

In fact, in the mid-19th century, Sri Lanka, then Ceylon, was one of the top three coffee producing countries in the world alongside Brazil and Indonesia. Unfortunately, a tragic breakout of a fungal disease known as coffee leaf rust decimated the Sri Lankan coffee industry by the turn of the 1900’s.

Damn Fine Coffee Roasters began with a simple, yet ambitious dream of restoring the bygone legacy of Sri Lankan coffee. We are a homegrown Sri Lankan coffee company that believes in one thing – that Sri Lankan coffee is as good as any in the world.

Through exhaustive research and experimentation, we have reintroduced the famed Sri Lankan coffee beans of yesteryear to the lush and verdant highlands of Sri Lanka where it used to flourish more than two centuries ago.

Together with an intimate network of artisan coffee farmers, we prepare our coffee all the way from bean to cup using technology that’s at the forefront of today’s coffee industry. The result is a resurrection of the legendary taste of the good old days – with a brand new vigor. 

Damn Fine Coffee Roasters bring you a range of the finest single origin Sri Lankan coffees, made to perfection to suit any need.
