Small Tea Growers
Our aim is to promote Nepal Himalayan
Tea as a quality product and distribute
it world wide but also to create an
awareness among the consumers that the
tea bought by them is also helping to
make thousands of small farmers economically
and socially viable as leaf grown in
Nepal is not sourced from huge estates
like in other countries but from small
tea growers who are being educated on
the use of herbal pesticides and weedicides
and who are encouraged to stick to their
traditional and natural methods of manuring.
In
contrast to other countries, tea in
Nepal is cultivated mostly on small
holdings of an average size of approximately
2500 square meters. The farmers either
sell their produce to tea factories
or process it in their own cooperatives.
The industry in Nepal is young and innovative
with organic production steadily increasing.
As tea is considered a health drink
by many having antioxidants to keep
the skin looking younger and as a preventive
to stomach cancer or gum disease and
caries if drunk without milk or sugar,
it is a luxury to sip a fresh brewed
cup of tea and relax amid congenial
surroundings. This too is our goal to
provide the tea community around the
globe with fresh, aromatic teas produced
in the Himalaya grown in environmentally
friendly conditions without harmful
substances while also sustaining our
small tea growers and producers through
strong, energetic and strategic marketing. |
