Our journey from a humble backyard tea garden to a globally recognized brand is a story of passion, resilience, and a commitment to delivering quality Nepali teas to the entire globe.

It all began in the 1960s when Mr. Deepak Prakash Baskota, inspired by tea plantations in Darjeeling, returned to his village in Eastern Nepal with a vision of starting a tea farm to rid his community of poverty. Despite initial rejection from village elders, he persevered and started planting tea seeds in his own backyard with his wife and close friends.

By 1984, he established Nepal's first Certified Organic Tea Garden, Kanchanjangha Tea Estate, with more than 100 farmers pooling their lands together. Our founder Nishchal, born in 1991 on the tea farm, grew up surrounded by this legacy of determination and community spirit.

After graduating college in the US in 2015 and opening Nepal's first tea bar, Nishchal returned to America in 2016 to establish Nepal Tea Collective. Through crowdfunding success, award-winning teas, and building a passionate team, we've grown into a movement that connects conscious consumers directly with Nepali tea farmers, ensuring fair compensation and sustainable practices while sharing the exceptional flavors of Nepal with the world.
