New start-up focuses solely on tea from Nepal
A team of social entrepreneurs has launched a tea company specializing in premium and rare teas exclusively from Nepal. Nepali Tea Traders is the first company in America to offer over twenty specialty teas from small gardens in Nepal, which is one of the poorest countries in Asia. The range includes natural and organic black, green, oolong and white teas that are grown at ideal altitudes of 4,000 to 8,000 feet. The Colorado-based company has made a commitment to donate its profits to the Nepal Youth Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides health care, education and social services to the children of Nepal. The company also offers a range of teabags and tea accessories, and plans to introduce a retail range in 2013.
