    Frequently Asked Questions

    Know your Tea Better.

    What is the shelf life of products?

    All Vahdam Teas have a shelf-life of 3 years from the Date of Picking/Harvest. The 'Date of Expiry' are mentioned on the bottom of all our boxes.

    Where are your Teas from?

    We source our teas from over 150 renowned plantations and small individual farms in India. Within the country, we procure from 5 popular tea-producing regions, namely: Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, Kangra, and Sikkim.

    How are the Teas packaged?

    After sourcing our teas directly from plantations within hours of harvest, we bring them to our state-of-the-art tea facility in New Delhi, India. The teas then go through rigorous rounds of cleaning, sorting, quality testing to remove any impurities/dust/foreign particles. Post 10+ quality checkpoints for leaf size, aroma, liquor, flavors etc. these are vacuum-packaged in opaque aluminum-lined bags using sophisticated machinery. These vacuum-bags are then stored in a dehumidified, temperature-controlled warehouse which ensures that the teas remain garden-fresh and maintain their character. Further, required quantities are packed in smaller vacuum-sealed packs which are boxed in the retail boxes and then sent over to our own delivery centers located in various parts of the world.

    Tasty First Flush Darjeeling 2020 Picked

    I really enjoy First Flush Darjeeling and found this to be a great tasting tea with mild astringency detectable at tongue edges. The full pound I received is lovely! The flavour is delightful with lingering hints of dried currant and apricot and it has a fine nose. The leaf is a great mix of golden twisted tips and greener bits. The tea is resteepable once with minor loss of taste and delicacy. I really enjoy this tea and certainly found it comparable to some premium single estate darjeeling teas - Castleton, Goomtee, Thurbo are some I enjoy. The leaf is good sized with few fines when examined after steeping. It appears properly handled (no off putting taste, smell or bland old flavourlessness) and I appreciate VAHDAM Tea's quality packing which includes pluck date. A lovely FTGFOP1 loose Darjeeling First Flush Tea at an excellent price! Delicious!

    Vadam Darjeeling tea is just awesome!

    Coming from the state where this famous tea is produced and an avid tea lover, I must say Vadam Darjeeling first flush is awesome in flavor, color and note. It made me feel like home away from home. If you really love authentic organic tea from the famous hills of Darjeeling, try Vadam.
