Nepal's one-stemmed tea has attracted attention at a tea exhibition in China. Participants showed interest in Ilam's one-stemmed tea at the Asia-Africa Black Tea Exchange Festival held in Liqun, Hubei Province, China.
A golden-colored black tea made from leafless buds is called one-stemmed tea. This tea, produced in Ilam in 2024, was tasted by more than 200 participants on the first day.
Five countries, including China, were invited to participate in the tea tasting program in the inaugural session. Nepal's one-stemmed orthodox black tea tasting was brought forward at the festival organized under the leadership of the Chinese Tea Industry Committee Association, BRI and other organizations, informed Parbati Aryal, Economic Minister of the Nepalese Embassy in Beijing. She said that Nepal's tea is produced in accordance with geographical altitude, organic and orthodox tea standards, which has aroused interest in the global tea market.
According to China's 'Tea Horse Route' concept, there is a possibility that Nepal's tea can be transported to Lumbini through the tea gardens of Ilam and then be viewed by the world at large. 'If the Chinese concept can be revived, Nepal can also move forward with such a concept,' she said.
During the festival, discussions were held between tea experts, representatives from Korea, China and other countries, researchers, exporters and producers who came to Hubei province from various provinces in China, said Nepali tea promoter Roshan Pokharel. The three-day tea festival is ending on Sunday.
