Most of the world's finest Arabica coffee comes from mountain tropics, that is, within the Tropic of Cancer (23 °S / N), which is also known as the "traditional coffee belt". Because coffee trees are not resistant to cold, once the night temperature drops to frost, the seedlings will freeze to death. So most of the existing coffee comes from the tropics.

Introduction to Nipor Coffee

However, Nepal is not in the tropics (average latitude 28 °N, more than 23 °N), but it still grows a small amount of the highest quality coffee at the highest altitude in the world, which shocked coffee connoisseurs around the world.

That is because Nepal is located on the hillside of the southern Himalayas and borders with India, and half of its small land area is located in the high mountains on the sunny side of the Himalayan snow-capped mountains, while the warm Indian Ocean current from the Indian subcontinent climbs up the slopes, making the mountains warm and wet. It is cold but not cold in winter, warm but not hot in summer, and there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening. This creates a unique special coffee growing environment in the world, that is, high altitude + high latitude. The environment of other planting belts is mostly the combination of high altitude and low latitude.

The vast majority of coffee grown in Nepal is a mixture of bourbon and tin pickup Arabica coffee. This grape variety originated on the island of Reunion and is now dominant in Rwanda and other East African countries. The real Nepalese Himalayan alpine coffee is the product of more than 30,000 small farmers who use shade planting mode to pick and select ripe coffee fruits by hand. Then concentrate the coffee on the farm for washing or honey treatment.

Nepal is not in the world's traditional coffee belt.

But the Himalayan coffee here is nourished by melting snow in the Himalayas, the clouds are scattered from time to time in the mountains, and small farmers use the manure of their livestock as fertilizer and grow in shade, with a completely organic, natural and friendly environment.

Nepal is a country dominated by agriculture and handicrafts, and its industrial foundation is relatively weak. Coffee is planted by small farmers and distributed in various farmers, but large-scale manor planting has not been realized yet. The unique geographical and cultural environment and planting methods destined that the production of coffee beans in Nepal can only be limited.

The Nepalese government encourages farmers to export only coffee beans to the United States, Japan, Europe, the United States and other countries, and the charm of its coffee is deeply praised by the international market. With the expansion of market publicity and the increase of demand, the output of coffee in Nepal has been difficult to meet the demand. At present, it can only meet 5% of the demand in the international market, which far exceeds the demand.

(Britain's Prince Harry visited Nepal in 2016 to bring coffee back to Britain as a special gift.)
