Nepal Tea Collective Review
I have received a sample of tea in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of the product.
Nepal Tea Collective, an award-winning public benefit corporation that distributes fresh organic teas worldwide, now includes QR codes on all product labels. When scanned with smartphones, the QR codes offer information on the farm where the tea leaves were grown and when the particular bag of tea was plucked, packaged, and shipped. The QR codes are part of Nepal Tea’s pledge to bring more traceability and transparency to the tea and herb industries.
“The tea industry is ripe for disruption. There are way too many middlemen creating little to no value at all. They’re depressing the income for the farmers and degrading the quality and freshness of tea for consumers,” said Nishchal Banskota, Founder and CEO of Nepal Tea Collective. “We believe consumers deserve to know exactly where their tea comes from and whether or not it’s single-origin. We think of ourselves as a movement to reinvent the tea supply chain and make it more sustainable.”
“We’ve taken the further step of becoming a public benefit corporation (PBC) to really challenge the status quo and make a sustainable business with a core mission to do good for the tea farmers,” continued Banskota. “Becoming a PBC in fact mandates us to our public benefit purpose with legislative reporting requirements which enforce an enhanced level of accountability and transparency. We really want to challenge ourselves to do what is right for the farmers and the industry.”
After reading up on the brand, I wanted to try lemongrass tea. It was so delicious. It was lite and it was pretty refreshing and a must-have. Lots of medical benefits that one cannot pass up. The smell reminded me of freshly cut grass, but not as strong. Stainless steel mesh tea ball was filled with loose leaf lemongrass tea and hot water was poured into my cup and steeped for 5 minutes.
