The Himalayan Elevation Advantage

Nepal boasts some of the highest-elevation tea gardens in the world, with estates ranging between 1,200 meters and over 2,200 meters above sea level. This thin mountain atmosphere, combined with pure glacier meltwater and sharp temperature swings between day and night, forces tea plants to develop slowly.

This deliberate, slow growth concentrates natural aromatic sugars, amino acids, and essential oils. The resulting teas are celebrated for their crystalline clarity, absence of harsh bitterness, and deeply memorable floral bouquets.

Artisan Smallholders & Fair Direct Trade

Unlike corporate monoculture plantations, Nepali orthodox tea is largely powered by smallholder families and grower co-operatives. Hand-plucked dawn harvests ensure that leaves are treated with supreme gentleness, and our direct trade partnerships ensure fair living wages for rural tea communities.
