Frequently Asked Questions

Is Black Tea good for health?

Black Tea has specific antioxidants, including catechins and polyphenols, which have been linked to reduce the risk of certain type of cancers. Increased evidence shows that these antioxidants in black tea have been known to reduce atherosclerosis in women (clogged arteries) in women.
How to brew a good cup of Black Tea?

In order to brew a good cup of black tea, take some oxygen-rich, fresh water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. For a single cup of black tea, take 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of black tea in a teapot. Pour the freshly boiled 180-200 ml of water over the leaves in the teapot. Cover and let it steep for 3-5 minutes according to your taste preference (longer the steeping time, stronger is the tea). Add in Milk and sugar as per your taste and liking!
Which harvest teas do you use in your blends?

All our premium blends are made of a variety of garden-fresh, superior quality teas sourced from their native region. We procure all our teas in their respective prime-harvest seasons, which differ according to the tea type, place of origin, season etc. Procuring these teas during their prime harvest periods means that we get the best quality teas which have an enhanced flavor, character, and freshness.
Where do you source your teas from?

We source our teas from over 150 renowned tea 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 your teas packed?

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. Teas then pass through a final 10+ quality check points for leaf size, aroma, liquor, flavors etc. They are then vacuum-packaged in opaque aluminium-lined bags using sophisticated machinery. These vacuum-bags are then stored in a dehumidified, temperatuere-controlled warehouse which ensures that the teas remain garden-fresh and maintain their character. Upon recieving a consumer's order, we further pack the required quantity of tea in smaller vacuum-sealed packs which are boxed in the retail boxes and then sent over to our own delivery centres located in various parts of the world.

Robust flavor

This is one of the best Indian black leaf teas I have used so far. I have been using Darjeeling, Ooty, ceylone leaf for years but Sikkim beats all. It is close cousin of Darjeeling in terms of flavor but much better. I heat water only between 60 to 65 degrees centigrade and add tea & strain after 2 minutes. In my experience, heating beyond 70 would reduce the flavor. Boiling like Indian Chai will certainly degrade real tea flavor. Now this is my favorite tea over ceylone, Darjeeling and Ooty.

You need to state what year and picking this tea is. I would never pay this much without knowing those details. Just include the upfront.

So Good!

This tea is great. It's one of my favorites.

Doubling the amount of tea I normally put in the basket produces a flavorful cup

This tea makes a mellow and drinkable cup but there's nothing at all "tantalizing" about it. The flavor notes claimed for it in the description were not evident to me. I've tried both three-minute and four-minute steeps. At four minutes the tannins become quite pronounced. I've had other very good teas from Vahdam. This one was simply "fair".EDIT: I've added a star. After DOUBLING the amount of tea that I normally use when brewing a pot, the flavor in the cup is quite good. But that makes this tea rather more expensive per cup.
