Discover the Rich Heritage and Benefits of Nepal Tea


Nepal is famous for its Himalayan landscapes and warm hospitality—and it’s also home to some of the world’s most distinctive Nepal tea. For years, exceptional tea from Nepal has often been undervalued and sometimes sold under broader regional labels, even when the craftsmanship and leaf quality stand on their own.

At Nepali Tea Traders, we highlight the true character of single-origin Nepali loose leaf tea grown in the high-altitude hills of Ilam. Cooler mountain conditions help the leaf mature slowly for naturally smooth, complex flavor and antioxidant-rich character—without the harsh bite many mass-produced teas carry. By sourcing directly and paying partner farmers a competitive wage, we support sustainable livelihoods while you enjoy authentic Himalayan loose leaf tea shipped fresh in the U.S.

lovely white tea

I love Rara Willow/organic white tea. It’s a very gentle tea. I can drink it in the afternoon and even after dinner without impacting sleep. And it may be frowned upon by purists, but I really like to mix some in with my green tea in the morning.
