Today, we take you to the slopes of the Himalayas, where spring breathes new life into nature. Our HIMALAYA'S LIGHT white tea, handpicked in the Nepali highlands, is as pure and unprocessed as the peaks under the moonlight.

The light of pure life

Immaculate and white, like the peaks of the world’s highest mountain range in the moonlight: this tea from the Himalaya is virtually untouched and thus uniquely represents its origin and the weather of an early spring, when it was harvested. It stems from leaves and buds that have come back to life after a long winter hibernation and impresses with its complexity.

Jun Chiyabari (Dhankuta, Nepal)

Jun Chiyabari, founded in 2000 in Dhankuta in eastern Nepal, has quickly built up a reputation as a producer of exceptionally pure teas whose leaves come from the slopes of Himalaya’s mid-hills. This is also reflected in its name, which translates to “moonlit tea garden”. Established as an organic plantation from the outset, Jun Chiyabari has been certified organic since 2012.

Seed money for ways to financial independence

To enable them to generate additional income independently, Jun Chiyabari has been supporting their employees for years with one-off financial subsidies for the purchase of necessary means of production if needed, for example for pig farming. They don’t have to repay smaller amounts. For larger projects, the company grants microloans to its employees and their families.
