class="content__text" Featuring @suiro.teas • In a country where tea is a beloved and a staple drink for most citizens, and with the topography best for growing tea, Shrisha Pradhananga, along with Hong Mei Liao, saw a gap in the market between suppliers and customers. Coming from a family of botanists, Shrisha had always been fascinated by flowers and plants. Seeing the lack of quality tea in a country with some of the best places to grow tea, she found that not only was there a gap on the market but also the lack of options for customers. In 2018, Shrisha met her co-founder Hong Mei, who is tea specialist, through a mutual friend. As they started to meet up frequently, they started discussing the tea culture in Nepal and China respectively. The more Shrisha and Hong Mei discussed about tea, the more they were motivated to start their own tea company. Hong Mei, with a Master’s degree in Phytochemistry and research in the health benefits of herbs used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Shrisha’s ITA Tea Sommelier Certification, the two decided to introduce an alternative way of life through the art of tea to Nepali people and support the ever growing tea community. Thereafter, in 2022, Suiro Teas became an official tea company, offering hand selected herbal blends, flower teas and quality tea. Currently, Suiro Teas is one of the well-known tea companies in the niche tea community. The Suiro team wants to change the perception of tea and want to develop a tea culture as well as become a truly Nepali brand that provides the best quality of tea to the customers. Suiro has also collaborated with a renowned artist Gopal Kalapremi Shrestha for highly valuable series of ceramic wares. This collection represents a modern interpretation of traditional Nepali craftsmanship, and aims to bridge the gap between contemporary design and timeless craft. In future, Shrisha and Hong Mei hope to take Suiro to new heights by becoming the go-to brand for quality tea as well as open a tea room for an authentic tea experience. #ChaseYourDreams #DreamsComeTrue #DreamersAndDoers #MadeinNepal #Nepal #Nepali #PossibleChaSabai
