Our Story: Himalko Tea
Himalko—meaning “Of the Himalayas” in Nepali—reflects our deep connection to the majestic Himalayan Mountains, home to the highest peaks in the world. Founded by passionate Nepali-American entrepreneurs, Himalko Tea was born out of a love for high-quality tea and a commitment to sharing this love with tea enthusiasts around the globe.
As our President, Manoj “MJ” Yadav, puts it: “We’ve always enjoyed the distinct taste of teas from Nepal and the Himalayan region.” The unique environment of the Himalayas, where tea bushes mature slowly due to the high altitude and mineral-rich soil, produces teas with a stronger, more vibrant flavor. This connection to the region, both personal and environmental, inspired the creation of Himalko in 2021.
With our Nepali heritage, it felt natural to source teas from Nepal and the broader Himalayan region. However, our decision to do so goes beyond personal ties—it’s about the unparalleled quality and value these teas offer. Nepal’s tea culture has deep roots, going back over a century, and this tradition is carried forward by Himalko Tea. From our inception, our mission has been to deliver premium teas and elevate the
tea-drinking experience for our customers.
Since launching in the United States in 2022, we’ve worked to source our teas directly from the region—whether from Nepal, India, or beyond—minimizing the number of intermediaries in the value chain. This not only ensures the highest quality but also helps keep our teas affordable, offering exceptional value to our customers.
Tea is not only a flavorful beverage butalso a source of numerous health benefits. The antioxidants found in tea help reduce free radicals, alleviating hypertension and promoting overall well-being. Tea’s anti-inflammatory properties further enhance its appeal, offering a soothing and therapeutic experience. As a fitness enthusiast, our co-founder MJ drinks tea not just for its great taste but for its health benefits, finding it to be a perfect alternative to less healthy beverages. Tea, derived from the camellia sinensis plant, is packed with polyphenols—especially flavonoids—that act as antioxidants, helping protect the body from oxidative stress. Among the many benefits of green tea are its anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, as well as its positive effects on cardiovascular health and oral hygiene.
Driven by our passion for tea, Himalko Tea was founded with a shared commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and promoting the ancient art of tea-making to a wider audience. We blend tradition, nature, and health to create a tea-drinking experience that is as beneficial as it is enjoyable. Each sip of Himalko Tea carries the essence of the Himalayas, bringing with it the richness of flavor and the serenity of nature.
Whether you’re savoring our tea for its distinct taste or for its dedication of our tea producers ensures that Himalko Tea remains a symbol of craftsmanship, quality, and the timeless tradition of tea.
This is Himalko Tea—from the Himalayas, to your cup.
