Our story began over 40 years ago, when we first set out to put Nepal on the world tea map by buying tea from a handful of state-run estates and introducing them to the world. Today, we stand as the oldest exporter and leading producer, consolidator, blender and packager of finer quality Himalayan teas, in Nepal. Around the beginning of this decade, we reached a juncture where numerous reservations were raised on the future of Nepal’s tea industry. It was realized that although Nepal makes teas that are amongst the finest in the world, the fact was largely unheard-of by most consumers. The reasons - Nepalese teas have always either been blended into other finer teas of the world or sold singularly as high-end teas at huge premiums without any mention of its origin. This practice has continually deprived the Nepalese tea producing community of a fair price, progressive development and more importantly in the long term, it’s significance. Unlike other tea producing countries of the world that spend billions in branding activities, Nepalese tea growing communities find it hard to even sustain themselves due to the lack of resources and support. We envisaged Rakura to defy this status quo by working to change the face of Nepalese tea while creating sustainability for farmers, producers, community, industry and country!
