Introducing Nepali Tea Traders


Introducing Nepali Tea Traders — and some of the world’s finest, hand-picked teas. Grown in the rare air of Nepal at altitudes between 4,000 and 8,000 feet, our teas have been “hidden” in the Himalayas — until now.


 




    • Exceptional Quality - Our teas are some of the finest in the world, rivaling and even surpassing teas from nearby Darjeeling, India.





    • Sustainability - Our teas are either certified organic or naturally grown and processed, without chemicals.





    • Fair Prices for Tea Farmers - Our business focuses on providing Nepal’s tea farmers fair prices and their fair share of the profits.  We’re changing the dynamic of an industry once dominated by middlemen.





    • Reinvestment - Our mission is to reinvest in the tea industry and the children of Nepal, improving health, education and the quality of life.  Learn more about the Nepal Youth Foundation’s work to transform children’s lives: View Video.



You can find our teas at Whole Foods Stores in Colorado now!


Currently you can find us at stores in Highlands Ranch, Tamarac, Washington Park, Colfax, and in Fort Collins.  More stores are coming every week.   Nepali Tea Traders will continue to offer its tea in local, regional and national tea shops.

Our Cause and Inspiration


Nepal is a land of unmatched beauty and a warm, gracious people. It is one of Asia’s poorest countries, where tea workers earn dollars a day. At Nepali Tea Traders, our mission is two-fold: to work with our Nepali partners to market this remarkable tea in the U.S. and with each sale, to contribute to the Nepal Youth Foundation to improve health and education for children in need. Even as we’re building our new business, we plan to make cash contributions. So every time you enjoy a cup of this remarkable tea, you are helping improve lives.

Nepal Youth Foundation


The Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF) brings hope to Nepal’s most impoverished children by providing health, shelter and education. The organization was founded by Olga Murray when she traveled to Nepal in 1984 and observed local children struggling to study by lantern. Today, major projects include a full scholarship program that takes recipients from kindergarten through medical school, two small children's homes, 14 hospitals for malnourished children, and a program to abolish child slavery in Nepal. Based in San Francisco with offices and multiple programs in Nepal, NYF earned its sixth consecutive 4-star rating, the highest possible, from Charity Navigator for efficient use of donations. Only 3% of charities earn six consecutive 4-star ratings.


Our donations go a long way in Nepal.  Just $10 provides educational materials and books to a student for a year.  $25 provides school uniforms, shoes and school bags.  $100 can rescue a girl from servitude and send her to school.
