Nepal’s tea-growing regions—particularly Ilam, near the Darjeeling border—are redefining what premium tea means. With small family-owned farms, organic cultivation, and Himalayan elevation, Nepalese teas rival the finest from China, Taiwan, and India.
Unlike factory-grade tea bags, Nepali teas are hand-plucked, hand-rolled, and grown in rich mountain soil, resulting in bold, clean, and expressive flavors. The best part? These teas are still under-discovered in the West, giving you access to rare and exceptional leaves at great value.

Nepal’s high-elevation terroir—often over 6,000 ft above sea level—produces slower-growing tea leaves. This slower growth leads to higher concentrations of flavor compounds, antioxidants, and natural sweetness.
Elevation: Higher than Darjeeling, leading to complex flavor.
Small farms: 100% hand-harvested and pesticide-free.
Clean, cold air: Enhances aroma and freshness.
Organic & regenerative practices: USDA Certified.
