Ilam tea - the finest tea from Nepal

Tea - a Beverage for All

Tea is considered a universal beverage. It's enjoyed by young and old; prepared and served hot or cold. Ilam tea is cultivated in Nepal as well as in the foothills of nearby northeast India. I grew up in India and spent a lot of time in Assam, close to Darjeeling. Tea plantations and tea estates were popular destinations for tourists even in the 1950s.

Many Nepalese own small businesses like jewelry and metal crafts, wood-working, to name a few. Cottage industries are renowned for it local production and merchandising of local fabrics and ready made clothing. Internet entrepreneurship is on the rise to include bloggers and You-Tubers. Some are authors of both fiction and non-fiction. I wanted to mention that jewelry making is another skill the Nepalese people are proud of. Another talent is that of metal crafting and wood-working. I will be remiss if I don't mention trekking, travel and mountaineering. Since agriculture is limited to little pieces of land on the hillsides, tea is a major upcoming industry. Nepal produces, packs and ships tea (world wide) from its tea plantations You will hardly see a local without a cell phone or a watch:
