Mumbai-based Subko Coffee Roasters won the Best Coffee Design 2025 – Packaging award at the Specialty Coffee Association Awards at World of Coffee Dubai, for Project Ceylanka — a collaboration with Sri Lanka’s Damn Fine Coffee Roasters.
This cross-waters partnership between Subko and Damn Fine Coffee is about bringing Sri Lankan coffee back to the world stage. The coffee that powered Project Ceylanka’s winning entry — a Red Honey Arabica cultivated in Kotmale, Sri Lanka, and produced by Damn Fine Coffee —represents a new era for Sri Lanka’s coffee industry.
“Sri Lanka is back. And this win is proof that our coffee deserves a seat at the global specialty table,” said CEO Damn Fine Coffee, Yasas Kodituwakku. “We’ve spent years building a movement, not just a brand — partnering with farmers, refining our process, and proving that Sri Lanka can produce coffee that stands alongside the best in the world,” he said.
