Nepal Tea Collective · Est. 2026
A different kind of happy hour.
Sober Hours. 4 to 7. Every day.
Blended fresh-tea drinks, whipped together at the bar from organic Nepali tea, fresh fruit, and house-made shrubs. Canned in front of you, ready to walk out the door.
For the run-club crowd, the work-from-cafe regulars, the after-yoga drop-in, and anyone who wants something that tastes like a cocktail and feels like a clear morning.

THE COLLECTIVE
From 19 farms in Nepal, brewed at Van Vorst & Morris.
The Collective Brew opened in March 2026 in the corner space at 198 Van Vorst — the spot Paulus Hook regulars used to know as Gotan Cafe. New owners, new direction, same coffee-shop vibe.
It's the cafe arm of the Nepal Tea Collective — a cooperative working with 1,800+ smallholder Nepali farmers across 19 different farms. 1% of every cup we sell goes back to the farmers who grew the leaf.
The bar serves what we'd want to drink: pour-over single origin, organic loose-leaf tea, real matcha, fresh-folded momo from the kitchen. No 47-syrup wall. No 90-second drive-thru espresso. Just a corner table, good water, and time to brew it right.
