Tea in Nepal
Tea production in Nepal is relatively young, having only started in the 1960s. Ilam is located in eastern Nepal, about 600 km from Kathmandu. It is the largest tea growing area in Nepal and shares the same terroir as Darjeeling in India. Although we don’t hear as much about Nepali tea, it is very similar to the famous Indian tea, grown from the same tea plant as well. Because the tea is grown at a particularly high altitude, the leaves harvested here do not turn completely black, so although it tastes like black tea, it remains much lighter in colour. There are three main types of tea produced here: black, green and oolong. There are also three harvests a year, in spring, summer and autumn.
The most common ways to drink tea is with milk and spices, it is called chiya. You can also taste some original Nepali teas in our restaurant!
