Sri Lanka is famous for tea. But until the mid-19th century, coffee was the island’s cash crop. Now, Shinichiro Yoshimori and his local business partner have started up a coffee business here with a policy of employing women. Their coffee shop in the old capital, Kandy, buys from villages where he teaches farmers how to grow and process high-quality, high-price beans. As Sri Lanka tries to uplift farmers, Yoshimori contributes through coffee, while giving women a chance to shine in the workplace.
