Taste of Bhutan

Taste of Bhutan is a curated online shop for authentic, organic, and handmade goods from Bhutan.

Born from our desire to connect passionate artisans and producers of Bhutan to the rest of the world, we give crafts makers and farmers of our community the opportunity to reach a global audience and make a living.

Our country, Bhutan, is very unique. It has gained exposure over the years for its ability to preserve its culture, its nature and its authenticity while opening to the outside world and welcoming tourists.
Bhutan is the only-carbon negative nation in the world, it is on its way to becoming fully organic. Our tourism model is being praised for its high-value, low-impact system, and our economy relies on it.

Our air is pure, our land preserved, and slow living isn’t just a trend here, it’s a philosophy of life anchored deep into our society and its governance.

And we want to share just that. A selection of goods that is authentic, organic, natural. Made with respect for our land and its people, with food that taste without enhancers, textiles that have been naturally dyed, and savoir-faire passed down from our ancestors. We, at that of Bhutan, wish to be a part of this movement. We carefully select each product we are selling, making sure it has been produced or crafted responsibly and will have no negative impact on the Nature of our country. We also, as a company make conscious choices to do good: all our packaging are upcycled, our website is powered by renewable energy, we offset 50 % of the carbon emission our shipments are producing and all our hires are local.

In today’s world, traditional crafts and indigenous methods for making are being lost every day. We believe that supporting local craftspeople will mean preserving our savoir-faire, our culture and our community. With more local industries and access to the global market, small communities can thrive economically, encouraging younger people to remain in their villages – so that traditions and skills of a region can continue to be passed down through generations.

Taste of Bhutan works closely with artisan groups and social enterprises around the country to source ethical, sustainable gifts, accessories, home décor but also organic and natural superfoods like wild Cordyceps Sinensis and shilajit.

When shopping at Taste of Bhutan, you have the opportunity to choose unique, hard to get or one-of-a-kind pieces, while taking a stand with your dollars, supporting meaningful income opportunities for artisans and their families, and creating a positive, long-lasting impact.
