Soul Coffee and Monsoon Colombo join to elevate coffee experience

Soul Coffee recently partnered with Monsoon Colombo to bring a unique offering to the country’s coffee drinkers. Under the partnership, Soul Coffee is providing Monsoon with artisan roasted single origin coffee grown in the lush Ella Highlands, Kotmale Valley and Welimada Hills.
Single origin Ceylon coffees are grown in different regions within the country, and are highly prized for their distinct flavour which encapsulates the characteristics of the area in which they were grown. They are essentially time capsules capturing the distinctive attributes of a region during that particular season, and with each season creating its own unique subtle flavour variations, Soul Coffee said in a media release.
Speaking about the partnership, Henry Fitch, Managing Director - Monsoon said, “We are very happy to be partnering with Soul Coffee on this initiative. They have been at the forefront of the revived Ceylon coffee wave tirelessly pushing to improve the coffee experience and the quality of local coffee available to the average coffee drinker. That, coupled with their close ties to local small-holder farmers and wealth of knowledge, made them the ideal choice to be our coffee partner.”
Soul Coffee works closely with over 300 farming families who grow a unique variety of premium arabica beans across the luscious regions of Ella Valley, Kotmale Valley and Welimada Hills in Sri Lanka. 
Furthermore, the company, in a joint venture with a tea estate, grows and harvests its own unique variety of arabica beans, where they also have a coffee washing station and processing centre. At this centre, they process the coffee cherries in the following ways: Natural, Washed and Honey Processed.
“We firmly believe that through our careful control of the end-to-end coffee value chain from seed to cup, we have further elevated the local coffee experience and brought us on par with global offerings,” said Rinosh Nasar, Founder and CEO – Soul Coffee. “Regional Ceylon coffee was always a part of the plan for us from day one. And now that we are able to bring it to market it signifies the next phase of our growth and how far we have come since we first launched. It also signals a growing sophistication in the local market that is now asking for such a product.”
