Gurkha Tea .... coming soon

Gurkha Tea .... coming soon

This new Nepal Tea is from the family estate of Gopal Giri ( pictured ) who as an ex Gurkha strives to support his family tea garden in Nepal, Illam, Sri Antu and to support retired Gurkha's with donations to the Gurkha Welfare Trust. An amount from every packet of Gurkha Tea sold will go to the trust.

The planned range includes Tea Bags and Loose Leaf Teas of the highest quality rivaling the teas grown across the valley in Darjeeling. We produce a wide range of different grades of tea and especially for the connoisseur teas to rival the famous Darjeeling 1st flush teas !

Nepal Tea from Sri Antu, Illam

Nepal Tea from Sri Antu, Illam

This Tea you will soon be able to drink is from the village of Sri Antu in the Illam province of Nepal. From this estate there are stunning views and breathtaking sceneries all around with the sun rising on Kanchanjungha to the north. Ideal natural conditions for the Nepalese people to cultivate tea from the natural resources that surround them. Unlike Darjeeling the soils upon which the Teas grow are fresh and not over cultivated.
The picture below is taken from the estate and across the valley you can see Darjeeling. Tea's now grown on the Nepali side of the border are year on year getting much better, brighter and fresher in characteristics.

Supporting the Gurkha's

Supporting the Gurkha's

As Gopal says about the Gurkha's " Bravest of the Brave " . With our Gurkha Tea we intend to make a donation from every packet sold to the Gurkha Welfare Trust. You will be able to buy this great tea online and from selected shops. If you would like to stock Gurkha Tea in your shop please contact for more details on email sales@tea-and-coffee.com . As soon as we have stocks of Gurkha Tea ready we will put the news up on this website.

Gopal Giri approached The Kent & Sussex Tea and Coffee Company to assist in promoting this tea because of our family connection to the Gurkha's. The founder of Kent Tea Mr Malcolm Smith was in the 4th Gurkha's before partition and the 10th Gurkha's after partition.
