2 speciality roasts from 1 London roaster use Nepal beans.
Nepal produces relatively small volumes of speciality coffee, most of it grown in the hilly regions of the Kaski, Gulmi, Palpa, and Sindhupalchok districts, typically at altitudes between 1,000 and 2,000 metres. The cup character tends toward a mild, clean profile with gentle acidity, soft body, and flavour notes that often include milk chocolate, nuts, and subtle fruit. Some lots, particularly those processed as naturals or honey, show a slightly fuller sweetness and more pronounced stone-fruit character. The principal varietal in cultivation is Bourbon, though Typica selections are also present.
Washed processing is the most common method and generally delivers the cleaner, more delicate expressions the origin is associated with. Natural and honey processing is practised on a smaller scale and is becoming more common as growers seek to differentiate their lots. Nepal occupies a niche position in speciality coffee, often appearing as a single origin for drinkers interested in exploring lesser-documented Himalayan growing regions rather than as a standard component of espresso blends.
