Tea is an important part of every Nepali’s daily life. In most homes, the day begins with a cup of tea. It brings freshness and energy to our mornings, and serving tea to guests has become a beautiful part of our culture. In Nepal, National Tea Day is celebrated every year on Baisakh 15.
Nepal’s tea journey, which began in the green hills of Ilam and Jhapa, has now crossed more than 150 years. Today, Nepali tea has created its own identity in the global market with its unique taste. In every cup of tea, you can feel the freshness of the eastern hills and the hard work of our farmers.
Even though we produce enough tea, the sector still faces challenges like increasing imports, lack of modern testing laboratories, and unclear market policies. Millions of farmers and workers depend on this industry, but fair pricing and access to technology are still limited. If we focus on better policies, modern technology, and quality, Nepali tea can reach great heights in the world market. National Tea Day reminds us not only to feel proud of our tea but also to take responsibility for its growth and promotion.
May the fragrance of Nepali tea spread even more across the world.
Happy National Tea Day!

On 28 April 2026, the ILO will celebrate this decision, bringing together experts and constituents to discuss the implications it has for the world of work, as well as how to practically implement this right in the world of work. It will also serve to implement the findings of research on the implementation status of various provisions of the fundamental Conventions No. 155 and No. 187.

सोचेका कामले बिस्तारै सही बाटो समाउनेछन्। कसैको विश्वास जित्ने अवसर मिल्न सक्छ। मनमा पलाएको चाहनालाई अघि बढाउने हिम्मत बढ्नेछ। साँझतिर सानो खुसीले दिनभरिको थकान बिर्साउनेछ। आजको शुभ रंग हरियो हो भने शुभ अंक ५ रहेको छ।
