Ingredients

Assam Black Tea

Tasting Notes Here’s a signature summer tea from one of the finest estates in Assam in the Northeastern region of India. This brisk, earthy tea has an exceptionally well-balanced sweet and sour flavour profile that never disappoints. The leaves are tightly-rolled, with blackish brown hues, and a few olive green and brown flakes. The smooth yet brisk liquor has a rich mouthfeel and a smooth texture. It carries notes of wood that are evident in the middle, made buoyant by the hint of astringency, while a distant note of waxy flower sails throughout.

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.

Quick Shipping & Great Tea

As usual, fantastic service & superb tea. I'm a regular buyer of Assum tea from Vahdam. I've never been disappointed.

Nice morning tea

I am buying Assam tea from Vahdam on a regular basis, and it never disappoints me.

Очень похож на English Breakfast

Но вкус мне понравился больше, есть небольшая кислинка во вкусе. После смакования появляются нотки чернослива. Соотношение цена/качество очень достойное.

Excellent teas!

I've been buying teas directly from Vahdam for a couple of years now, and just love their teas and their service. The teas arrive extraordinarily quickly all the way from India, very firmly wrapped up. The selections are broad, and it has been fun to try out a variety of types to find the ones I like most.

excellent Assam and Masala teas

This is high quality tea, vacuum packed and hence very fresh even almost 1 year after packing date. I love Assam tea and enjoy both the Daily Assam (leaf) and the Applause Assam CTC tea. Both are full bodies Assams, especially the CTC. The Cardamom Masala Chai also met my expectations for a tasty masala chai.
I am very satisfied both with the tea and also with delivery. This, my first purchase was delivered within a day or two to Taiwan. I got a phone call from FedEx customs agent to scan and email my signature for delegation of customs clearance. Zero Taiwan import duties apply on any importation for less than about $100US, so the package passed Taiwan customs duty free the next day, and was delivered to my door the following day.

I highly recommend Vahdam for fresh tasting, full bodied Assam Teas and Masala Teas and flawless execution of international shipping.
