Cultivated with care, inspired by heritage. Badda Bean is a family-run business which is bringing a rare premium Sri Lankan coffee bean to the UK. Siblings Samantha and Sampath Erabadda were inspired by their father’s journey from living in a rural Sri Lankan village without many prospects, to being given the right opportunity, to ultimately succeeding and having a successful career in the UK.
Recognising the importance of providing individuals in rural communities with a chance to thrive, the siblings wanted to reconnect with their ancestral roots and give back to their beloved Sri Lanka. Together with their passion for Sri Lankan coffee, Badda Bean was born. Sourced directly from the lush highlands of Sri Lanka, our single-origin Arabica coffee beans will offer you a unique exotic coffee experience, telling a story of culture, sustainability, and empowerment.
IMPACT & MISSION
Badda Bean are dedicated to providing premium speciality Sri Lankan coffee while directly supporting farmers using an ethical and sustainable approach. We carefully selected our partner farm based on their positive culture towards supporting their farmers and local communities. Our partner farm employs a large percentage of the local rural community, where farmers are paid a fair wage to support their families. The proceeds from the farm are often used to rejuvenate the community and to donate free coffee plants to local residents to encourage them to grow their own beautiful coffee trees.
We believe that empowering and supporting farmers and their families helps the community to thrive, and we are proud to work with our partner farm to ensure that our producers and coffee bean crops are treated with the utmost care and respect. With every cup, you’re not just enjoying premium Sri Lankan coffee, you’re becoming part of a movement that values the planet, people, and a better future for the communities that make it all possible.
