The Jewel of the High Altitudes
Jumli Mix Simi Dana (जुम्ली मिक्स सिमी दाना)
Harvested by hand in the extreme, pristine alpine climate of Jumla, Jumli Mix Simi Dana is one of Nepal’s greatest agricultural treasures. These whole heirloom beans—boasting an eye-catching natural mosaic of red, black, beige, and mottled seeds—thrive in unpolluted glacial soil.
Because they grow at high elevations where pest pressures are virtually nonexistent, they are 100% organic by default. Unlike factory beans, whole Jumli Simi holds its structural shape during cooking while its interior turns into a rich, buttery cream.
