Ceylon Coffee
The Dutch brought seedlings from their Javanese plantations to Sri Lanka. After a series of trials, the Javanese plants did not succeed well at the lower elevations where the Dutch experimented with coffee growing. It was the British, who had conquered the highland interior that successfully commercialized coffee as the first hugely successful export crop from Sri Lanka.

Due to the British only focusing on mono-culture coffee without shade, the conditions were created for a devastating fungus. This was the famous coffee blight. This coffee blight destroyed the plantations and forced the British to find other crops they could export. Fortunately for them the tea bush, Camellia sinensis, is not as susceptible to the fungus and that is why Sri Lanka today is the leading exporter of tea worldwide.

Tea as it is grown today in Sri Lanka continues to be highly destructive to the upland ecosystem. Though some of the more recent hybrid coffees have been introduced, Kandyan Coffee Co. is encouraging local farmers in Sri Lanka to keep with the traditional, more flavourful varieties.

Sri Lanka is most definitely one to watch on the world coffee map due to the growth of high demand for its quality coffee. Thanks to the dedication of Sri Lankan producers, as well as the insatiability of both local and international consumers, Sri Lankan coffee is set to strengthen in both popularity and quality.

The Horton Plains National Park offers amazing hikes amongst the shadows of Sri Lanka’s second and third-highest mountains; Kirigalpotta (2395m) and Totapola (2359m), each of which rear up from the edges of the plateau. The ‘plains’ form a plateau of rises and fall over 2000m high, covered by wild grasslands and interspersed with patches of thick forest, rocky outcrops, filigree waterfalls and misty lakes. The plateau’s sudden end is famously known as ‘World’s End’, a stunning near 880m drop. Entrance tickets are sold until 2:30pm daily, and travellers must exit the national park by 6pm.
