Coffee reminds us of the aroma of a wonderfully brewed drink. This drink is so unique that it was given a new name with the addition of herbs by a new Sri Lankan entrepreneur looking to attract a niche market with his drink.
Gayathri Yapa
Ceylon Herbal Coffee, a blend of coffee with cardamom, coriander and ginger, was blended by Gayathri Yapa, who has perfected the art of creating a drink that is said to have healing properties while also having refreshing effects on the body.
She said the product soothes digestion, makes you feel refreshed, especially when you’re tired, and is also great during menstruation and for hangover recovery.
It was noted that the coffee is collected from small-scale farmers, the material is processed by hand using manual systems, and the roasting is done over a wood fire.
With so many herbal teas flooding the market, Yapa believes his favorite coffee has the potential to become famous as a coffee with herbal qualities and ingredients that ensure a healthy lifestyle for consumers. I noticed that.
When asked why she brewed herbal drinks, she pointed out that she thought it was important to make this type of drink to get the maximum effect: “I wanted to give people the benefits of herbs.” he added.
He pointed out that this caffeinated beverage does not have a bitter taste, but on the contrary, it had a positive impact on most domestic and overseas consumers, and the response was so great that the company was considering selling its shares in overseas markets.
review
Recalling some of the key highlights of her sales, Yapa said that a Swedish blogger was recently reviewing a product when another traveler approached her without checking to see if the product was in stock. He pointed out that he had indicated that he had no intention of leaving Sri Lanka. She brought Ceylon herbal coffee back to her home country.
The coffee product should not be “just another coffee product”, she observed, adding that she sells the product every Saturday at the Good Market, where people come forward to buy the product after tasting its deliciousness. He added that there are also.
As a marketer for the past 14 years, Ms. Yapa has worked in this field for many organizations, but has now chosen to focus on selling her own product, which she experimented with a while ago.
He learned the technique from his aunt, who still brews the concoction, and perfected the flavor, and it is now being sold in Australia, where 50 pieces have already been packed, with many coming from markets such as Dubai and Germany. She said vacancies are coming.
Experimenting with food even at home comes naturally to her and she is currently working on the same to find ways to detox her body.
“I love to drink herbs whenever I go out. I really love the taste of herbs,” Yapa said.
Currently, the product is priced at Rs 380, which will be changed to Rs 430 per 100 grams once it is supplied to some boutique hotels in the south and plans to expand to more boutique hotels.

She noted that some of these hotels were offering the drink to yoga enthusiasts to sip after their yoga sessions.
This drink has been produced after a lot of experimentation and research on all the ingredients included in the product, and personally “I tried them individually and considered in what proportions they should be combined. I did,” she said.

Additionally, she also took the services of an Ayurvedic doctor to understand the importance of the ingredients and how their values can be checked to make the drink nutritious and healthy.
The product has been on the market since November last year and is currently packaged in gift boxes and is considered the preferred beer to be served to monks after the all-night Pirit sutra chanting service.
According to Yapa, this healthy drink is also said to be delicious with kitur jaggery or dates, and some people even drink it with milk.
