Since 2014

From one pepper farm to three shops

  1. 2014

    The first meeting

    A visit to a Kampot pepper farm, and the idea of a house that would buy straight from the growers.

  2. 2016

    KHLA opens in France

    First official import of Kampot pepper, sold from Lyon to French kitchens.

  3. 2018

    The company is founded in Cambodia

    Deruaz Import Export is registered in Phnom Penh, and the house moves closer to the fields.

  4. 2019

    Sourcing across Southeast Asia

    The range grows beyond pepper, with organic spices from Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Sri Lanka.

  5. 2020

    Khla Lodge opens in Kampot

    Five rooms among the plantations, for travellers who want to see where the pepper grows.

  6. 2021

    Thé d’Asie is born, and the workshop opens

    A tea brand of our own, and a packing workshop in Phnom Penh so every tin is filled by hand here.

    The Paul Dubrule school

    A partnership with the hospitality school of Siem Reap, where young Cambodians train for the trade.
