OUR FOREST GARDEN

We nurture a medicinal forest garden which features a diverse range of plants all grown together. This agriculture practice is one of the most stable and sustainable ways to cultivate plants. The different layers all have a different purpose and symbiotic relationships with other layers, causing all the different flora to grow as one.

HERBAL KULEN products are originated from Phnom Kulen, Beng Mealea.

Explore Our Cambodian Botanicals

Discover the spices, roots, herbs, flowers and fruits cultivated together in our medicinal forest garden at the foothills of the Kulen Mountains. Each botanical is selected for its place in Cambodian plant traditions, its natural properties and the distinctive aromas it brings to our herbal teas, essential oils and small-batch gin. Grown within a diverse forest system rather than an isolated monoculture, these plants form a living collection shaped by the land, the seasons and Herbal Kulen’s commitment to more sustainable agriculture.
