KATHMANDU: Nepal Tea Collective, a public benefit corporation based in New York and Kathmandu, has recently introduced Nepali Orthodox tea to the market.
Nepal Tea Collective has also invited all tea lovers and drinkers to join them in savouring loose-leaf Nepali teas. Their tea tourism and tea-tasting experiences also offer Nepali tea drinkers the opportunity to get familiar with Nepal’s world-renowned tea masters and tea makers, all while enjoying the refined flavours of Nepali Orthodox tea.
For tea drinkers who are eager to test and refine their tea palate, or those who simply want to replace their sweet milk tea with deeper, fresher flavours of loose-leaf teas, Nepal Tea Collective’s teas are now available to order online on Daraz or through their website.
Since 2016, Nepal Tea Collective has been distributing Orthodox Nepali teas sourced from organic, small-holder community farms in Nepal, all over the United States and to buyers from over 42 countries. Till date, they have sold more than 10 million cups of tea worldwide. They are now enthused to launch their teas in the Nepali market.
Led by second and third-generation tea producers, Nishchal Banskota and Pratik Rijal, Nepal Tea Collective was founded with the vision of disrupting the outdated and exploitative supply chains that dominate the tea industry. Nepali tea farmers do not have access to global markets, making them reliant on long supply chains of middlemen that keep them earning less than $2 a day.
Nepal Tea Collective has drastically shortened this supply chain for their farmers, directly connecting them to global buyers. Recently, Amigo Khadka, a seasoned professional who has experience from working with Wall Street to founding and scaling startups, joined as a co-founder with the dream of making Nepali tea a global household brand.
As a part of this vision for global expansion, Nepal Tea Collective is bringing its offerings to Nepal. While thousands of international buyers have experienced the freshness and rare flavours of premium Nepali tea, many Nepali tea lovers have yet to experience the best tea Nepal has to offer.
“Nepali teas are highly appreciated globally for their richness and rarity of flavours,” says co-founder Nishchal Banskota “Our loose-leaf teas and organic blends have won 12 international awards, a testament to their premium quality. Having been featured in New York Times and Forbes, we have been able to build a Nepali tea identity and trusting relationships with international buyers.”

Co-founder Khadka adds, “We want to connect with Nepali tea drinkers in this same way. Our culture is saturated with CTC teas, and many Nepalis are missing out on the sheer range and quality of Nepali orthodox teas. It’s time we elevate the tea scene in Nepal and learn to appreciate the taste of our own teas. After all, tea for us Nepalis is what scotch is for the Scots, what wine is for the French, and what chocolates are for the Swiss.”
Working with highly skilled and experienced tea producers, Nepal Tea Collective offers an exquisite variety of black, white, green, and oolong teas as well as herbal blends. Their tea catalogue ranges from award-winning black teas, like their Kanchanjangha Noir (Himalayan Sunrise) and Kumari Gold, rare black teas like their Top of the World teas, grown and produced in Solukhumbu, to award-winning white teas like White Prakash, which has been widely appreciated for its smooth mouthfeel as well as the complexity of flavours.
