Tea Origin

The Nepal Tea Collective tea estate thrives in the eastern region of Nepal, nestled in the foothills of Mt. Kanchanjangha, which is the third-highest mountain in the world. Located precisely near the western borders of Darjeeling, India and north of the Illam, the most famous tea growing region in Nepal, our small village enjoys the best of both worlds. Situated at an altitude of 1300-1800 meters (4,200 - 6000 feet), the area enjoys pristine Himalayan climatic conditions to produce highly unique and aromatic teas.

Iced/Cold Brew Method

Teaware: Glass and silicon infuser bottle

Leaf Amount:7g per 500 ml (17 oz)
Time:6–10 hours refrigerated

Leaf, Liquor, & Tasting Notes

Leaf: Dry leaves are light brown, with a distinct honey and brown sugar aroma. If you allow the leaves to steam in a heated teapot or gaiwan, you will notice the leaves emit a lovely osmanthus and logan flower aroma.

First Round: a delightful mix of honey and longan fruit.  There is also a subtle aromatic hint of osmanthus flowers in full bloom.

Second Round: sweet and floral, with added notes of baker’s spice and sandalwood.  The honey sweetness grows in intensity during the finish.

Third Round: a slight shift away from the honey note, towards a more longan-forward flavor.

About our Partnerships

At Communitea, we partner only with tea growers whose work reflects the same roots and vision we bring to our own communities — and our partners at Nepal Tea Collective embody that spirit.

A public benefit corporation on a mission to lift one million farmers out of poverty, Nepal Tea Collective transforms lives by connecting smallholder organic tea farmers directly with tea drinkers around the world. Their commitment to transparency, traceability, and impact aligns perfectly with Communitea’s belief that every cup of tea should strengthen the communities it comes from — and the ones it’s shared in.

Like us, they refuse to treat tea as just another commodity. Instead, they see it as a way to build opportunity, dignity, and connection — generation by generation, one cup at a time. That’s why we proudly serve and feature their teas in our Communitea House hubs, our curated marketplace, and our educational programs — so your purchase doesn’t just taste good, it does good.

Together, we’re building a supply chain — and a world — that’s more equitable, more rooted, and more connected.

Teaware that brings out the fullest potential of the tea and meets you where you are at in your tea journey - on the go, casual drinker, iced enthusiast, aspiring connouisseur.
