This coffee is grown on the Himalayan mountainside, a region well known for growing tea.
Although it is true that the coffee cultivation project was initiated for several reasons:
- To participate in the agro-export business in Nepal.
- To create jobs for the very backward farmers in the plantation area with emphasis on giving priority to women.
- To promote ORGANIC agriculture.
- Encourage reforestation and soil conservation.
- Support a small elementary school in the local village.
The plantation is irrigated through the cool snowy waters of Mount Ganesh Hima, which is a Himalayan mountain range located mainly in north central Nepal, although some peaks are located on the border with Tibet. The range is located about 70 km north-northwest of Kathmandu.
It is located at 500 m SNM. Due to the proximity to the high snow-capped mountains, going higher would put us in a high frost area where plants would not survive.
The coffee is 100% hand washed and sun dried.
