Siblings Brew Success: Sri Lankan Coffee Hits UK

Siblings Samantha and Sampath have achieved their long-held dream of bringing speciality Sri Lankan coffee to the UK market. After a dedicated six-year search, they partnered with a farm in the Kothmale region, prioritizing a "positive culture" that supports both farmers and the local community.

Their company, Badda Bean, has invested in this new farm, ensuring that a significant portion of the local population is employed and receives a fair wage. Additionally, 300,000 baby coffee plants have been distributed to local families, enabling them to grow their own coffee and earn additional income.

The journey of the coffee beans from Sri Lanka to the UK was a moment of great anticipation, with the shipment arriving in London and proceeding to a roaster in Manchester. Samantha and Sampath experienced immense relief and joy when the beans passed quality control and tasted exceptionally good, fulfilling a vision inspired by their father.
