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.

Fine cuppa

I wasn't wowed by this tea, but I do find it quite satisfying.

Perfect breakfast tea

Our favorite tea. Every morning

Completely satisfied!!!

I am completely pleased with the product. Have been used to sipping morning and evening Darjeeling/Kurseong first and second flush teas, specially from Castleton and Makaibari estates. It's great to see that these are available online. Thank you Vahdam for packaging from different estates and making it easy for the buyers.

A new favorite

I enjoy trying new teas from Vahdam and know I won’t be disappointed. This was no exception! I make a pot in morning and often again n afternoon. A mild but flavorful tea!

Delicious Tea

Our family is quite picky about our teas - some consider tea that is not first flush finest tippy Golden undrinkable. We bought a small amount of Vahdam Darjeeling to try about 2 years ago, and have been regularly placing orders since. The company is obviously run by people that love and understand tea. There is an interesting information about the tea provided in each box, with a profile of the head of the firm, Bala Sarda - a young founder who has seen that Vahdam goes to lengths to ensure you enjoy your tea - there are brewing suggestions, a lovely label and storage bag for you to transfer your tea from the vacuum sealed package that your tea comes in. We have received a few packages where the package has lost it�s �vacuum� compression, but seal was intact and the flavor of the tea was not affected. As Amazon customers we are suspicious of inflated reviews motivated by the promise of freebies & discounts. However, as repeat Vahdam customers we have found over the course of two years that the shipment, presentation and, most importantly, flavor of the purchased tea to be excellent. Keep up the good work!
