Sherpa Chai Story

Sherpa Chai isn't just the chai Pemba's mother made him. It's the chai her mother made for her. The chai her mother's mother made before that. This recipe has been integral to the Sherpa people as built their homes high in the Solukhumbu region of Nepal.
When Pemba was 16 he began working as a guide, carrying baggage and food to the basecamps of Everest and others of the world's highest peaks. Soon he was able to form his own trekking agency, Sherpa Ascent International, leading tourists up peaks and on treks in Nepal, Europe and Africa. In each place he would leave his mark by donating cloths, time, and money to uplift the people there. Pemba eventually made Boulder, Colorado his basecamp, directing and leading over 40 trips to Nepal over the course of 15 years. In 2001 one Pemba started Sherpa's Adventurer's Restaurant and bar. It was here the first gallons of his age-old recipe were made.
The recipe his mother had passed on to him began being served by the gallon everyday. People were loving it. In every comment about the restaurant was at least one mention of the chai tea. In 2013 Pemba decided it was time to share his family's recipe more widely. He enlisted Jacob Dana and together they started turning the Sherpa's chai into Sherpa Chai™. He is now proud to be the first indigenous Sherpa to offer this timeless beverage to you and your family.
Jangbu Sherpa who has summited Mt. Everest ten times without the aid of supplemental oxygen, remarked that at each camp on the way to the top there was a hot mug of this same family recipe waiting to keep spirits high and climbers warm. Lakhpa Sherpa, another Everest summiteer drinks Sherpa Chai every morning before heading to work at Sherpa's Restaurant.
It's been that way for centuries. A hot cup of chai sends journeyers off and welcomes travelers home. It's a daily drink, but also holds a spot on the table next to Roxi and Chang during the various celebrations and festivals that occur throughout the year in Nepal. As chai is an essential beverage for millions in Asia, it is quickly becoming a staple in this country as well. In the US iced chai is a refreshing beverage after a long hike, a grueling day at school, or non-stop meetings at work. Grab a mug, grab some friends and sit back and enjoy some Sherpa Chai!
