I'm Nish, a second-generation tea producer from Nepal, now calling New York City home. Tea has been my lifelong companion with a family lineage of nurturing tea leaves for over 40 years.

In 2016, fueled by a fervor to share the essence of Nepal's organic tea with the world, I started Nepal Tea Collective. Sustainability, traceability, and transparency became the cornerstones of our mission. With each cup of tea, we strive to bridge the gap between tea enthusiasts and the passionate farmers who cultivate these leaves with care. It's about more than just tea; it's a commitment to uplifting tea producers, nurturing communities, and redefining the tea industry's standards.

My journey has led me to embrace the role of a tea sommelier, a storyteller who uncorks the narratives behind every tea leaf. From virtual gatherings with industry giants like Google, Klaviyo, and DocuSign to in-person experiences with esteemed institutions like the Global Good Fund and the Watson Institute, I've had the privilege of sharing the magic of tea with diverse audiences.

Tea tasting is my canvas of creativity, a symphony of flavors and aromas orchestrated to delight the senses. Guiding others through this sensory journey is where I find my passion. With a playful spirit, I've discovered ways to make tea tasting an engaging experience, a blend of education and entertainment that leaves everyone with a newfound appreciation for this ancient elixir.

Join me in unlocking the world of tea, where each cup holds a story waiting to be savored. Let's embark on a journey that transcends geographical boundaries, celebrating the connections forged over a shared love for the leaf.
