Specialty coffee April 2025

The specialty coffee of April 2025 is: Sri Lanka Kandy Kothmale

Resilience and revival; these are the defining words for the coffee history of Kandy Kothmale. Because the region had been hit hard by a coffee epidemic in the late 19th century, farmers had switched to tea production.

Meanwhile, coffee is making a comeback in the region. The perfect opportunity for farmers to combine traditional methods with modern techniques. As a result, about 300 small-scale farmers produce high-quality Arabica beans. Despite the challenges within the coffee world, they remain dedicated to their craft, just like many of their parents and grandparents. The preservation of their heritage is important.

The coffee is conceived in a washed manner that, together with the high altitude of the area, ensures a rich flavour with notes of dried fruits, spices and cocoa. In addition, the specific roasting process ensures that the flavor profiles of the beans undergo optimal development.
