A broader vision of social impact
As a cooperative, Lanka Coffee helps by investing in knowledge development and training for coffee growers, enabling them to improve their yields and production methods. All of this takes place within a context of sustainability, where the beans are produced in an environmentally friendly manner.
Lanka Coffee guarantees top quality directly from Sri Lankan farmers. No middlemen, we own the whole chain. Your choice improves working conditions, increases family incomes, and supports sustainable agriculture. But most of all, it supports a better quality of life for the whole society. Taste the difference quality makes.
A deep, personal connection
The owner of Lanka Coffee, born in Sri Lanka and adopted as a baby by Dutch parents, has a deep connection to his native country. This personal connection, combined with his Dutch entrepreneurial spirit, drives his dedication to improving coffee processing techniques, supporting coffee grower communities, and enhancing the quality and yield of his farms. Ultimately, he strives to improve not only the quality of the coffee but also the quality of life for many in Sri Lanka.
Lanka Coffee
At Lanka Coffee, we know that you want to be an impact maker. Choose Lanka Coffee?
We understand how frustrating it is that the coffee world is so opaque. It is made incredibly difficult for you to find out what kind of impact your cup of coffee has. If you are like us, you have often tried to find delicious coffee that is also ethical. You have probably wondered if there is a way to drink good coffee that also feels good. After all, you don't just want to drink coffee; you want to make an impact, and it is wrong that your daily cup of coffee can unintentionally contribute to the exploitation of people and nature.
At Lanka Coffee, we get that.
We know how powerless it feels not to know where your coffee comes from or who is behind it. Over the past few years, we have approached hundreds of people in the industry to gain insight into origins in order to build a chain that is completely transparent.
What does it mean to own the whole chain (Whats the difference)
Most coffee travels a long way before it ends up in a cup. Along the way, a large share of its value is absorbed by traders, exporters, and intermediaries.
Lanka Coffee takes a different approach.
We work directly with farmers, process the coffee ourselves, and bring it directly to Europe. This allows us to maintain control over quality, transparency, and impact. More importantly, it enables us to invest where it matters most.
In better harvests. In knowledge and skills. In education. In opportunities for the next generation.
Our goal is not only to deliver exceptional coffee. Our goal is to build a future together with local communities one in which quality of life is just as important as the quality of the coffee.
