Question 1

What makes Cambodian single-origin coffee unique?

Accepted Answer

Cambodian specialty coffee grows in highland volcanic basalt soils at elevations between 400 m and 1,000 m in provinces like Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri. The combination of high-altitude thermal variance, rich ferruginous laterite soil, and traditional shade-grown cultivation produces a cup profile characterised by heavy body, balanced acidity, and earthy-chocolate undertones distinct from other Southeast Asian origins.

Question 2

What is the flavour profile of Mondulkiri coffee?

Accepted Answer

Mondulkiri coffee, grown at 800–1,000 m on volcanic red basalt soil, is known for high bean density, balanced acidity, and nutty undertones. The highland thermal variance slows cherry development, allowing greater sugar accumulation and a cleaner, more nuanced cup compared to lowland lots.

Question 3

How does Ratanakiri coffee differ from Mondulkiri?

Accepted Answer

Ratanakiri coffee grows at lower elevations (400–600 m) in ferruginous latosol — iron-rich red earth. This produces a heavier-bodied cup with prominent dark chocolate notes and lower acidity. The region is particularly suited to premium Robusta, which thrives in the dense mineral soil and humid lowland climate.

Question 4
