Nepal is known for its mountains, rich culture, and beautiful landscapes, but not many know about its incredible tea. In the hills of Ilam, where tea bushes stretch across the land, tea farming is not just work—it’s a way of life. For generations, families have depended on these tea gardens to survive, but their efforts often go unnoticed.
During our trip to Jasbire Tea, we had the privilege of speaking with a farmer whose words captured the struggle, resilience, and untold sacrifices of the people behind Nepali tea. His story reflects not just his life but the reality faced by thousands of tea farmers across Nepal.
