This coffee is grown on the mountainside of the Himalayas, a region well known for growing tea. Although it is true that the coffee growing project began for several reasons: - Participate in the agro-export business in Nepal. - Create jobs for very backward farmers in the plantation area with emphasis on priority for women. - Promote ORGANIC agriculture. - Promote reforestation and soil conservation - Support a small primary school in the local village. The plantation is irrigated through the cool snow-capped waters of Mount Ganesh Hima, which is a Himalayan mountain range located mainly in north-central Nepal, though some peaks border Tibet. The chain is located about 70 km north-northwest of Kathmandu. It is located at 500 m SNM. Due to the proximity to the high snowy mountains, going higher would put us in an area of high frost where plants would not survive.
