Cambodia’s Coffee-Growing Highlands Explained

Cambodia’s coffee story is concentrated in higher-elevation northeastern areas where local climate and soils can support coffee production. Mondulkiri is the best-known regional name in current quality-focused discussions, with Ratanakiri also relevant.

Highland origin does not automatically guarantee quality. Farm management, genetics, ripeness, processing, drying, and storage remain decisive.

Buyer takeaway: ask for exact province, producer, elevation where known, harvest, and process. “Highland Cambodian coffee” is too broad for a serious sourcing specification.
