How Nepal tastes

Thanks to the Nepal project of TeaGschwendner and GIZ, the approximately 300 small farmers from the tea district of Ilam have managed to continuously improve the quality of their tea over the past years. The result is a wonderful first flush with a soft, fragrant-floral cuvee that clearly shows its proximity to its famous neighbour Darjeeling.

Following the motto "Those who move, get things moving", TeeGschwendner, the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GIZ and the Ghorka Tea Estate decided to launch the Nepal project. The approximately 300 smallholder families of the Shree Sunderpani, Eco Kolbung and Boudhadham cooperatives around the tiny village of Fikkal in the most important tea district of Ilam in Nepal are the focus of this project.

Our tea experts imparted the necessary know-how for the proper care of the tea plants and the production of biological compost. In addition, each household received a cow and a biogas plant for self-sufficient power supply. A new tea factory was also built, where optimal processing of the picked tea leaves has been taking place since 2009. In 2011, the well-deserved organic certification took place. German tea drinkers can enjoy all these grandiose efforts in the form of our beautiful Nepal teas, first and foremost our Nepal Initiative, in a 250g container under No. 392 or right away in a kg pack under No. 394.
