The scent of floral honey and rose fills my senses. I’m at a barista training in Nepal, surrounded by attendees carefully measuring the water temperature in their kettles before pouring over bowls of coffee from districts like Nuwakot, Dhankuta, Illam, or Kavrepalanchok. Each of the coffee’s are processed differently: Red Honey, Natural Anaerobic fermentation, and Natural process. Women play a major role in picking cherries and sorting the unroasted seeds within. A first for my town, I am one of the enthusiasts attending this coffee tasting event, organized by Baari Roastery<\/a>, a home-grown coffee enterprise in Biratnagar, 235 miles from Nepal\u2019s capital city, Kathmandu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nepal, my home, is a Himalayan nation. We are known for our mountains, trails, and high elevation tea gardens; coffee from Nepal is much less talked about. And that’s not just for export: here, tea (called chiya)<\/em> is steeped in the everyday rituals of life. Visit someone\u2019s home, and they\u2019ll offer you tea. Bump into a friend on the street, and they\u2019ll ask you to join in for a cup of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now this deeply rooted tea culture is making room for a complimentary growing coffee scene. This extend from beyond Kathmandu, the nation’s urban center, and into every corner of life in Nepal. Entrepreneurs are shifting Nepal\u2019s tea-drinking habits into coffee, by opening up coffee shops, roasteries, and offering barista courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee Versus Tea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entrepreneurs don\u2019t think coffee is a replacement, but an addition to Nepal\u2019s steadily emerging beverage scene. Coffee runs parallel to this long-standing tea tradition, according to the husband-and-wife owners of Baari Roastery, Yunesh Raj Shrestha and Deena Pradhan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCoffee is clearly finding its own place in contemporary Nepali life\u2014with meetings, an early start to the workday, and even as an energy booster for gym-goers,\u201d shares Shrestha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Shrestha and Pradhan, the explanation is simple: Overseas returnees. \u201cThey have played an important role in introducing and shaping this culture. Having lived and worked in countries\u2014Australia and Europe, they returned with new palates and habits formed through daily exposure to cafe culture abroad,\u201d Shrestha tells me, \u201cWhich has influenced local consumption patterns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let me be clear: tea drinking in Nepal isn’t going anywhere. Young people here continue to hang out at both chiya pasals<\/em> (tea shops) and coffee shops, with different intentions. Chiya pasals double up as \u201cinformal social spaces where youngsters gather to spend time together and enjoy a sense of community rooted in everyday life,\u201d Shrestha said. Chiya pasals stand alongside coffee shops; supermarkets stock tea and coffee in neighboring shelves; this highlights how the old and the new exist together, each fulfilling a different purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"nepalcoffee_barista_trainee_owner_ridhi_agrawal\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But coffee shops are evolving, too. \u201cThese have become extensions of the workplace and important meeting hubs for a new, corporate-oriented lifestyle among urban youth,\u201d Shrestha observes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shrestha\u2019s family has a hospitality background; she can legitimately claim to be the first to serve espresso at their cafe in Biratnagar, back in the early 2000s. Baari Roastery launched in 2020, and proudly names each single origin coffee they serve after the region they’re sourced from in Nepal: Kavre Single Origin, Nuwakot Highlands Washed, and Rasuwa Red Honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee Farming in Nepal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the cities, in coffee-growing communities, coffee is a source of income for many women whose husbands work abroad or in cities for better earnings and opportunitie. \u201cIn a lot of coffee-growing communities, women play a major role in the farm,” Deena Pradhan tells me. These women do the majority of the coffee-picking and processing work, and \u201care essential to the quality and care in our coffee production.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"nepalcoffee_coffee_drying_owner_baari_coffee\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coffee plantation records in Nepal go back to 1938<\/a>. A hermit brought some coffee seeds from Sindu Province of Burma, present-day (Myanmar), planting them in Aapchaur, a hill village in Gulmi District, approximately 218 miles from Kathmandu. In 1981, the first commercial coffee nursery was established in there. Over the years, the cultivation spread to over 40 districts of Nepal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCoffee grows between 800 and 1,600 meters. Some regions\u2014Rasuwa, Sankhuwasabha, Bhojpur, even cross 1,600 meters,\u201d says Abhinayak Malla, founder of WakeCup Coffee<\/a>. These altitudes have a unique warm and cool microclimate, Malla tells me. \u201cIn warm climates, cherry ripening will be fast; we can lose some of its good qualities. So, we need a moderate climate. The slower it ripens, the denser the coffee becomes. We need some sunlight, we need shade,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"nepalcoffee_wakecup_coffee_farmers_owner_abhinayak_malla\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All the coffee in Nepal\u2014all of it\u2014is grown by smallholder farmers. \u201cWe don\u2019t have 50 hectares of land under coffee cultivation,” Malla tells Sprudge. “Here, coffee is grown in smaller areas, between two and five hectares of land. This makes the coffee very special.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in Biratnagar in 2017, Malla launched WakeCup Coffee to connect the rural farming economy of Nepal’s growing urban identiy. His coffee shop picked up locally as it not only promoted the coffee of Nepal, but also created an ambiance where consumers could sit and use the internet for hours while enjoying coffee. What started as a four-table outlet where consumers were more accustomed to drinking home-style instant coffee has expanded into two branches, with consumers developing a palate for specialty coffee grown at some of the highest altitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microclimate, smallholder farming, slow maturation, and shade-grown plants lend the flavor profile uniqueness and distinctness, further enhanced during processing. According to Nepal\u2019s National Tea and Coffee Development Board<\/a> (NTCDB), the area under coffee cultivation in 2024 and 2025 was approximately 5,501 hectares. The green coffee yield for this period was 707 tons. However, this production isn\u2019t enough to compete with the growing domestic demand. As a result, Nepal relies on imports, which totaled 223.76 tons during the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board, like coffee shops, is also encouraging youth to develop their barista skills<\/a>. Youth view these trainings differently: as a ticket to a global career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee as a ticket to a global career<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across Nepal, coffee has become a ticket to knowledge, a career path to move abroad, and an adventure. Coffee shops have barista courses and roasteries, and double up as spaces for tasting events. These events, like Baari Roastery\u2019s event, educate enthusiasts about the coffee sector in Nepal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"nepalcoffee_tea_packets_in_supermarket_owner_ridhi_agrawal\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Barista training is even marketed as the ticket for a life abroad. Coffee shops like D Cafeteria<\/a>, located in Dharan, 215 miles from Kathmandu, equip trainees with brewing, setting up a bar, and cash management skills, preparing them for the international market. Graduates from the D Cafeteria training program have gone on to work in Australia, Europe, and the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coffee shop has also introduced a monthly coffee subscription model. In a social media post, the coffee shop explains: \u201cIt\u2019s definitely a first for the area and a smart move for anyone who needs their daily fix without the daily \u2018ordering hassle.\u2019\u201d Such subscription models, the post explains, offer a better \u2018per cup\u2019 price for Lungo, Americano, or Latte \u201cthan buying individually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the outskirts of Pokhara, coffee experiences engage the senses. Airbnb host Dinesh Kanta Adhikary<\/a> has a farm that does not produce large quantities of coffee. \u201cIt is just enough for ourselves and our guests,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can make one kg [of] coffee out of five kg [of] raw beans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through coffee-making activities, he offers guests a hands-on adventure. Visitors can visit his homestay at any time to see the process, but it is better during harvest season. Visitors are invited to pick cherries, pulp the skins, roast beans over fire, and grind them, ending their journey with a brew they craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
