There are many factors that contribute to the premium quality of Himalayan Arabica coffee. Not Only goes the management to cultivation process play an important role in producing high quality bean, the favorable climate and Location are also the important factors that are equally instrumental.

In Nepal, We have different regions of higher altitude away from the main coffee growing Capricorn and cancer belts (above 23 degree latitude of the world, 1000 to 1600m high). However, it is important to note that it is the Arabica variety which is being grown in Nepal as the one and only variety so far. It is special quality and good as the Mexican and Elsavadoran coffee.

NOCP is an internationally certified organic company according to the organic Agriculture certification Thailand under IFOAM accredited on production & processing of coffee since 2008 NOCP’s Himalayan Arabica coffee & Morning Fresh coffee have been instrumental in contributing to the coffee producing regions in Nepal in support of environment and social improvements.

The production area of the Arabica Coffee of the NOCP’s is presently in the remode-sloppy and small farmers village area of the western region of Palpa District.

This company has been managing a system to support a good organic agriculture practice and also a good value chain system from coffee seed to a cup of coffee(cultivation of brewing). In other words, the system includes various procedures such as growing, harvesting, processing, grading, roasting, grinding and finally packaging through following techniques.

• Hand picked, nurtured and selected with care for fresh aroma.
• Visually double checked at the farming site with high altitude.
• Carefully selected to ensure the best quality by using the finest coffee bean(only ripen fresh cherry coffee) to create a unique and distinct flavor of the Himalayan Arabia Coffee.
• The cherries if as green picked to soon it will be sour coffee or to late (over ripped) it will be fermented wine coffee. Therefore we harvest the cherries at the peak of ripeness. So the quality of Nepal Organic’s brand is as good as any where in the world.
