Lanterra

The blight took the coffee.The families stayed.

In 1869, a fungal blight swept through Ceylon's coffee estates and erased an entire industry in less than two decades. The colonial planters left. The smallholder families on the slopes between Kandy and Ella — they stayed.

They kept a few trees alive. They grew tea instead. They passed both down through five generations, tending slopes that most of the world had forgotten still held coffee at all.

Lanterra is what we found when we went looking. Single-estate. Direct from the families. Roasted to order. No intermediaries, no mythology — just the cup that took 150 years to reach you.

Single-estate coffee and tea from the hands that kept the highland trees alive through a century and a half of forgetting. This is what grew back.
