In the heart of the Himalayas, Nepalese artisans use a traditional process of ancient paper making to craft these sheets. Lokta paper comes from the bark of the Daphne plant (known locally as Lokta), a shrub that grows in abundance at altitudes over 6500 feet. When the bark is harvested it promotes new growth on the plant, and the bush automatically fully regenerates itself in about 5 years. With controlled harvest, the process is both sustainable and eco-friendly.
Since it comes from a shrub instead of a tree, the fibers are longer, which results in a paper is known for its durability, flexibility, and soft texture. The paper making process and subsequent screen printing is 100% handmade using simple technology and local raw materials. The artisans crafting the paper are mostly women.
This handmade process means that each sheet is unique. Colors, paper weight, and the way the screen printed image looks will vary. This is all part of the unique charm of artisanal goods.

Weather Geeks Need These!
I have bought several dozen packages of these. I give them to our student interns, my employees, and recently sent them up the chain to our National Weather Service leadership as a thank you. These are my favorite. I work in Portland, it's lovely to support a "local" business such as Cognitive Surplus.

Gorgeous Decoration
Much too beautiful and detailed to use as wrapping paper, I put it up on my wall like a poster. It is so nice to look at but not obnoxious either. Every time I see it I find a new cool science tidbit. All of my science interests are represented and more! Great size, large enough but not too bulky, sturdy but not heavy.

LOVE IT!!!! Best pencils to write with!
I love how pretty this mug is. I use it to drink tea, and I love it every time.
I love all the mugs that came in this mystery pack. They somehow managed to find four that matched my personality and that of my family and friends who got gifted these mugs. 10/10 will order again. ❤️❤️

When I bring my Heartbeat water bottle to the hospital where I work everybody is envious because they want one too. I send them your way. I fear the bottle will get stolen because it is so coveted. This bottle is not only cute and educational but also a high quality drinking vessel. It keeps beverages cool longer than others and it doesn’t sweat all over the desk when filled with ice.
