WE ARE...
kar.ma COFFEE began with a simple pause.
In a world that moves quickly, always asking for more, kar.ma was created as a way to slow down and focus on what truly mattersāpeople, process, and purpose. What started as a personal journey in Nepal has grown into a community-led brand rooted in connection, craft, and conscious living.
More than just coffee, kar.ma is a way of life. One that values intention over excess, and meaning over momentum.
At kar.ma, coffee is only the beginning.
Working closely with farmers across six villages, the brand produces high-grade Arabica specialty coffee while building long-term, transparent relationships with the communities behind it. From sourcing and roasting to manual brewing techniques, every step is guided by care and precisionābringing out the true character of Nepali coffee.
Beyond the cup, kar.ma HANDMADE extends this philosophy into everyday objects. Using traditional materials and methods, local artisans transform coffee by-products and natural resources into minimal, thoughtfully designed pieces. Itās a reflection of circularity in practiceāwhere nothing goes to waste, and everything has a second life.
kar.maās journey began with a backpack, a return ticket, and a deep connection to Nepal.
Over the years, that connection has grown into a network of farmers, artisans, and collaboratorsāeach contributing to a shared vision of sustainable living. Today, the brand works with dozens of local producers, supporting livelihoods while showcasing Nepalās craftsmanship on a global stage.
kar.ma COFFEE is a verified maker based in Kathmandu listed on Avendi Local, the managed marketplace for handmade and locally-produced goods. We do not act as a re-seller or a tourist-grade gift shop ā every product on this page is fulfilled directly by kar.ma COFFEE, at the same price you would pay on the maker's own channel, with Avendi Local acting as the merchant of record so you get a single, traceable order.
Before any maker is published on Avendi Local they pass our Avendi Authentic KYB process ā we verify the legal entity behind the brand, confirm where the products are made, and check that pricing matches the maker's own retail. The badge on this profile means kar.ma COFFEE cleared that review and remains in good standing. If the maker delists from Avendi Local for any reason, this profile is removed; nothing here is scraped or syndicated without permission.
Orders for kar.ma COFFEE are paid through Avendi Local and fulfilled within Kathmandu ā we deliver to any address inside the city, whether that's a hotel, an apartment, a residential home, or an office. The only condition is that the delivery address sits within Kathmandu city limits; Avendi Local does not currently offer cross-city or international shipping. Returns and refunds are handled by Avendi Local, not by the individual maker, so you have a single point of contact for the entire order.
If you are buying kar.ma COFFEE for the first time and need anything specific ā gift wrapping, multi-product bundles, occasion-specific notes, or a delivery instruction for the hotel ā add it to the Special Requests field at checkout and we will coordinate with the maker on your behalf.
