RARE OF AUTUMN

Open Leaf White Tea from the Autumn Harvest is a farewell gift from the bushes of Nepal before going to winter hibernation.

After three seasons comes a long-awaited Autumn with the final harvest of the year. The leaves are mature now, prepared to resist the cold of the coming winter. The Autumn flush lends musky flavors, tangy aromas, and amber liquor.

Open leaf white tea leaves are delicate and so it is should be handled with utmost care in its shipment procedure. Many tea sourcing businesses stopped buying because of its delicate leaves and the care it needs while shipping and packaging, likewise, farmers in Nepal also stopped the production of white peony in recent years. This open leaf white (White Peony) is a very small batch production of the Autumn harvest.

Why we want your interest?

Small farmers and processors are driving the rapid growth of the Nepali tea industry. Where once only cows, yak, and sheep roamed, farmers are transforming these barren lands into productive tea plantations. The farmers couldn’t be more excited to know that their teas are making it to your daily cup. They will get to know their customer and understand their needs and preferences. While you’ll discover the incredible aroma and taste of Nepal tea, your slightest acknowledgment can make a huge impact on the small tea farms nestled in the Himalayas.

Tea growing is an excellent option for these huge, towering, mountainous hills. If global tea drinkers and connoisseurs can discover these superior quality teas, this emerging specialty tea industry can generate extra disposable income to Nepali tea farmers, who are not only the main actors but also the most vulnerable link in the tea production chain.

It’s foggy here throughout the year.

It’s a permaculture society.
Tea leaves are grown here in household farming on a small scale. Some will be given to the small scale tea processors, and some will be hand-crafted.
…and orthodox teas are made. – Small Farmers

Small Farmers – The most vulnerable link in the production chain

Tea in Nepal is cultivated primarily by hundreds of small-scale farmers providing them an extra income and a livelihood option for more than 70,000 people who are directly and indirectly working in this industry. Likewise, the Nepal tea industry heavily relies on 83.5% of tea producers who are all small scale farmers. Any upgrade in Nepal’s tea value chain will directly impact these marginal farmers. Casual labor is required year-round to pick tea leaves. Tea buds turn into leaves within a few days if they aren’t picked routinely. Once plucked, the harvested leaves need to be processed within 24 hours. Tea production is a labor-intensive industry, providing significant employment opportunities to local workers. More than 70% of the labor force involved in tea picking are women.

A day’s work is done for Chandra Kumari Rai. But there’s weighing to be done and transport the leaves to the factory. Picking tea leaves is her way of living. She’s a small farmer. There are thousands of small farmers like her waiting for the transaction to support their livelihood.
