Ceylon Hand Made Coffee

Ceylon coffee refers to coffee grown in Sri Lanka, historically known as Ceylon. In the 19th century, Sri Lanka was a major coffee producer until a devastating leaf rust disease (Hemileia vastatrix) wiped out most of the plantations, leading to a shift to tea cultivation. However, in recent years, there has been a resurgence of coffee farming, with Sri Lankan coffee known for its unique flavor profile, often described as smooth and mild with notes of fruit and chocolate. Specialty coffee enthusiasts are increasingly drawn to Ceylon coffee for its distinctiveness and rarity.
