FREE VISIT
Be guided by the Scents and Flavours of Cambodia. Support the work of our artisans.
Through the different stations of our Workshop, you will discover how our artisans make by hand: soap with coconut oil, natural cosmetics, subtly scented balms, aromatic candles, but also natural packaging that we call Smok and Krebei Riel boxes.
Those boxes are both made of different parts of the palm tree. We call those boxes according to the name of their respective village where our artisans learned the kraft and transmitted their skills from one generation to another.
You will also observe the different steps to treat and prepare the local spices (Kampot pepper, lemongrass, chili…), and how we blend them to make the traditional curry or amok.
During your visit, you will be able to taste 🥄 several of our creations: flavoured coffee, flavoured tea, exotic jam and identify various exotic plants and flowers as: lemongrass, chili, pepper plant, coffee tree, frangipani, jasmine and more!
