Our Story
A Dutch agronomist and a Cambodian farmer, a patch of volcanic highland near the Bu Sra waterfall, and a decade of perseverance.
The Founders
In 2014, Stefan and Chanthol planted the first cacao trees in Cambodia's history, near the Bu Sra waterfall in Mondulkiri. Nobody had grown cacao in the country before — there was no playbook, no local expertise, no guarantee the trees would take.
Today the estate spans 100+ hectares including partner farmers, growing Trinitario and Forastero across 19 sub-varietals — fully machine-graded, lab-tested, and shipped direct from the farm to chocolate makers worldwide.
A Decade of Firsts
The first cacao trees ever planted in Cambodia go into volcanic soil near the Bu Sra waterfall, Mondulkiri.
Beans go to the Malaysian Cocoa Board’s Analytical Services Laboratory. Cadmium comes back at 0.04 mg/kg — far below EU limits — alongside 59.4% fat and 60.7 mg GAE/g total phenolics.
Cambodia is the world's 67th cacao origin. Grade SMC 1 certified under MS 2672:2017, certified by the World Sustainability Organisation, buyers on three continents.
