  • Empowering Nepali Tea Farmers: Premium Nepal Tea with Unmatched Flavor

    Nepali Tea Traders Women Empowerment

    Enjoy our remarkable tea. And share our inspiration.
    Every purchase helps to build a sustainable tea economy in Nepal.

    Our Cause and Inspiration: Empowering Nepali Tea Farmers

    Nepal is a land of unmatched beauty, home to warm and gracious people. Despite being one of Asia’s least developed countries, where tea workers earn very low wages, our mission is to work with our Nepali partners to market this remarkable tea in the U.S. With each sale, we aim to improve health and education for children in need. Every time you enjoy a cup of premium Nepal tea, you help create a more prosperous future for the tea farmers and their families.

    Pure Tea from Rare Earth

    Just below the epic mountain peaks of Nepal lies what many consider the most pristine and perfect environment for growing tea. The elevation ranges between 4,000 and 8,000 feet, providing thin, cool air. The soil is rich and healthy, benefiting from 1000mm of annual rainfall and winter snow, providing life-giving moisture naturally drained away to the hills below. This region's unique seasons, with a longer winter and shorter summer, favor a long dormancy cycle that tea bushes thrive on.


    Nepal Tea Plantation

    The Ideal Tea Growing Environment

    Nepal’s unique geography and climate create ideal conditions for growing premium tea. The high-altitude tea plantations produce leaves with complex flavors and high antioxidant levels. The tea is hand-picked and minimally processed, ensuring maximum flavor and longevity. Nepali tea bushes are free from pesticides and are fertilized with natural materials, maintaining the purity of the tea.

    The Nepali Tea Plantation and Its People

    The people of Nepal are warm, inviting, industrious, and spiritual. However, the same geography that makes Nepal beautiful also presents challenges. Without a coastline, moving goods into and out of the country is challenging. The land offers limited opportunities for industry or farming, leading to high unemployment and an impoverished population.

    Despite these challenges, Nepali farmers have developed techniques over generations that have resulted in the exquisite tea we sell. By hand-picking and processing the tea with minimal machinery, they ensure that the leaves are less damaged, preserving the tea's flavor and longevity.

    Returning Balance to Unfair Practices

    Historically, tea traders have taken advantage of Nepali tea farmers, offering far below market prices for their premium tea. These traders then falsely repackage the tea as Indian tea, selling it for much higher prices on the international market.

    The mission of Nepali Tea Traders is to empower the tea farmers of Nepal, bringing prosperity and agency to their nation. We work directly with farmers, offering fair prices for their premium products. By trading honestly and in good faith, we help farmers reinvest in infrastructure and production, creating jobs and opportunities for others in the community.

    As the tea economy grows, so does the ability of the people of Nepal to improve their quality of life through better education and healthcare, greater business agency, and stronger self-determination.
