Meet the Women
INTEGRAL TO THEIR COMMUNITY
Nestled at the base of Mount Manaslu deep in the Himalayan Mountains is the remote village of Samagaun. The women of Samagaun are a resilient group of women. Their strength is shown every day as they maintain and grow harvests year round in difficult mountain conditions.
"The women are extremely strong and empowered, but in their society they are not recognized, discriminated against.”

Beyond the Blend
FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET
The focus of this social impact TEALEAVES project is to listen, share, and collaborate with the women to assist them in the creation of a sustainable brand, and international reputation for their gob-chi berries by 2026.
100% of the proceeds from the tea will be donated to the women of Samagaun.
Every purchase will help the women gain empowerment within their community as they grow their infrastructure and cultivate their land to increase their harvest in a biodiverse manner, so that it can prosper for decades to come.
PGS Certified and Mountain Partnership Supported
"Around the world, important agrobiodiversity and traditional knowledge are disappearing as farmers switch to growing commercial crop varieties that are more profitable in the short term. Long term, however, these crops – which are not adapted to the local ecosystems – can cause environmental degradation and inhibit climate adaptation. One way to promote smallholders’ products is through the development of participatory guarantee systems (PGS). PGS are quality assurance schemes for agricultural products, internationally recognized as low-cost certification suitable for smallholder farmers and local/national markets."
