Crafted with Care

Mondulkiri coffee is grown in the region’s cool, misty highlands, where fertile red soil nurtures each coffee cherry to perfection. Local farmers carefully handpick ripe cherries, ensuring only the best make it to the roasting stage.

At Senteurs d’Angkor Workshop and Garden, we source beans directly from these farmers, supporting traditional methods that have been passed down for generations. The roasting process is gentle and precise, highlighting the coffee’s natural notes of chocolate, caramel, and a hint of floral sweetness.

Coffee farming in Mondulkiri is more than a livelihood, it’s a cultural story. Many local families have cultivated coffee for decades, intertwining their daily lives with the rhythms of the land. Drinking Mondulkiri coffee is an invitation to experience Cambodia’s highland traditions, from the early morning harvests to the communal joy of sharing freshly brewed coffee. Each cup tells a story of dedication, patience, and a deep connection to nature.
