The coffee culture in Nepal
The owner Gagan Pradhan made it grow to a coffee chain with 84 locations in the country. According to Pradhan there are around 7000 coffee shops in Nepal.
“There are lot of tea shops throughout the nation, but the kind of set up they have is still kind of old fashioned,” Pradhan said as reported by Louisiana First News. “I think with investors and people like us, when it comes to coffee shop we are more serious not only with machines, we are serious with everything like the lighting, the set up, the furnishings, the location.”
Coffee is not just popular among consumers. A lot of coffee plantations are growing in number. The National Tea and Coffee Development Board, as reported by Louisiana First News, affirms that about 400 tons of coffee were produced just in the fiscal year 2021-22.
