We also aim to support farmers as well as consumers by directly bringing tea from Nepal and eliminating middlemen from the supply chain. We want to make an impact, not in words, but in action, hence we support different causes and projects that help benefit the environment and the less fortunate.
With every single purchase of Nepal Tea, we support farmers in several ways
The Cow Bank Project: In 2005, we began the Cow Bank Project in response to high poverty rates in Nepal. So far, we have donated 177 cows to our farmers and their families, so that they have additional ways to earn income. By 2025, we hope to reach our goal of 500 high-yielding cows.
The Free Education Project: In 2002, we began the Free Education Project to help combat high illiteracy rates in Nepal. In this project, we provide scholarships to all children of the farmers in order to study in the local English Boarding School and the Community School. In total, we have provided 2300 scholarships, with 93 students in this year’s program.
The Free Housing Project: We believe an essential part to improving our workers' lives is by providing adequate housing and basic necessities. Therefore, we provide all our workers with shelter, one set of clothes for them and their families every year, safe drinking water, electricity, and smokeless ovens.

Production Process
Production Process
Oolong teas undergo a longer and more intricate production process than other tea types, requiring careful attention at every stage to develop their depth and character. This Gaba Oolong is made from the Tagda 78 cultivar and follows a heavily oxidized oolong style.
Hand-plucked leaves are withered until they lose about 30–35% of their moisture, followed by an initial fermentation of 10–12 hours. The leaves are then placed in a setting machine to promote further oxidation for several hours.
The next day, the leaves undergo a second fermentation of 10–12 hours. Once the desired aroma and flavor profile develop, they are transferred to a fixing machine, similar to the enzyming step used in green tea production. Fixing is done at temperatures above 300°C for 10–15 minutes to halt oxidation.
After fixing, the leaves are lightly rolled for a few minutes, shaped into pearls, then dried for approximately 20 hours before sorting and packaging.
