First Flush is the first harvest of the season. In Darjeeling, the First Flush teas are harvested with the onset of spring around the first week of March.

First Flush teas from Darjeeling are highly sought after by connoisseurs for their signature freshness and fragrance. The young leaves are delightfully green with silvery tips, and make a sweet, light, and decadent cup with a distinct hue of Spring flowers.

Unlike teas blended with teas from multiple estates, Single Estate teas are from a single tea estate and not blended with any other teas. VAHDAM® India's Single Estate teas also mention Invoice No. and Date of Plucking of the teas - identifying the exact lot that is available only with VAHDAM® India and no one else!

Yes! All 100% pure Darjeeling teas come with the Tea Board of India's DARJEELING TEA logo. This logo is allowed only for 100% genuine and authentic Darjeeling teas and is a guarantee that you are buying certified Darjeeling tea.

After sourcing our teas directly from plantations, we bring them to our state-of-the-art tea facility in New Delhi, India. The teas then undergo rigorous cleaning, sorting, and quality testing to remove any impurities. 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, ensuring the teas remain garden-fresh. Further, required quantities are packed in smaller vacuum-sealed packs, boxed in retail boxes, and then sent to our delivery centers located worldwide.
