Who brought Coffee in Nepal?

How did Coffee production start in Nepal?

In this article I will tell you about the History Of Coffee in Nepal.

This information is not 100% true because there is no evidence to back it up but this story is widely believed on how Coffee was first introduced in Nepal.



It is said that a monk named Heera Giri was the person who brought the Coffee plant for the first time in Nepal. He brought it from Myanmar (then Burma) in the date 1938 A.D and he planted it in the place called Aapchour of Gulmi district. People didn’t immediately take interest in the Coffee plant and Nepalese were mostly unaware about the Coffee plant. But during the 70s (1970 A.D) some people took notice of it and saw the future of Coffee production in Nepal and they planted in some more places. In that way Coffee plants steadily started to get grown on different favorable places all over the country. Before it was only grown on few districts which are Gulmi, Lamjung, Syangja Nuwakot, kavre and Lalitpur but now a total of 19 Districts have been identified for Coffee production according to the article posted by The Himalayan Times. 

The Districts included in this list are
1.  Tanahun
2.  Lamjung
3.  Gorkha
4.  Syangja
4.  Kaski
5.  Palpa
6.  Gulmi
7.  Arghakhanchi
8.  Baglung
9.  Myagdi
10. Parbat
11. Dhading
12. Nuwakot
13. Kavre

Coffee production is further expanding in other districts of Nepal and seems to be very profitable.

Coffee culture has been increasing rapidly in Nepal throughout these years. People have started consuming Coffee normally nowadays and young couples have started making Cafés a common dating site throughout the city. Nepal is also a major exporter of Coffee nowadays. It is further said that at present, Nepal is exporting 65 metric tonnes of raw coffee. Many people also have taken interest in Coffee business and working in the art of making Coffee. Many Cafés have started giving training to aspiring Baristas who are looking forward to work in the Coffee making industry. It has provided a new job opportunity to people and business owners.
Although Coffee is getting famous nowadays almost every people don’t know the History Of Coffee in Nepal. People have no idea how it was brought to Nepal and how the Coffee production started in the country.
