SOVANN
The Golden Highland
SOVANN is OCC's origin-led interpretation of Mondulkiri: gentle in structure, grounded in chocolate, and lifted by the warm sweetness of brown sugar and roasted almond. It is designed to show that Cambodian Robusta can be calm, refined, and deeply connected to place.

Why SOVANN exists
SOVANN was created to represent the quieter side of Mondulkiri Robusta. Instead of emphasizing intensity alone, it focuses on balance, softness, and a steady chocolate finish.
The name draws from the Khmer word associated with gold. Here, gold does not mean luxury without context. It refers to value rooted in land, labor, and origin — the enduring value of Mondulkiri's highlands and the people who cultivate coffee there.
The Mondulkiri connection
Mondulkiri is one of Cambodia's most distinctive coffee-growing regions. Its higher elevation, cooler conditions, seasonal rainfall, humidity, and widely recognized red soils create a growing environment that differs from the country's lowland areas.
These conditions do not determine flavor on their own. Variety, cherry ripeness, processing, drying, storage, and roasting all remain essential. But together, they provide the agricultural setting in which Mondulkiri Robusta develops its character.
From land to cup
In the cup, SOVANN is designed around clarity rather than force. Chocolate forms the foundation. Brown sugar adds warmth and roundness. Roasted almond gives the finish structure without turning the coffee heavy or harsh.
This makes SOVANN the most approachable expression in the Mondulkiri Origin Collection and the clearest starting point for understanding Cambodian Robusta through origin rather than stereotype.
Balanced does not mean simple. It means every element has a place.
Flavor
architecture.
The flavor profile is built as a sequence: chocolate first, brown sugar through the center, and roasted almond in the finish.
Chocolate
A soft cocoa-like depth that gives the cup structure without aggressive bitterness. This note defines the core of SOVANN.
Brown Sugar
A warm, rounded sweetness that sits between caramel and molasses, helping the cup feel balanced and approachable.
Roasted Almond
A refined nutty finish that adds texture and length while keeping SOVANN distinct from deeper roasted profiles.
What shapes
the origin.
Cooler conditions and elevation help distinguish Mondulkiri from Cambodia's warmer lowland coffee environments.
Moisture supports growth, but careful harvest and drying remain critical to quality and consistency.
Mondulkiri is widely associated with red soils that influence drainage, root development, and overall growing conditions.
Local growing knowledge, selective harvesting, processing, and post-harvest control ultimately decide what reaches the cup.
OCC refines the profile to preserve chocolate depth while maintaining sweetness, balance, and a clean finish.
