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.

If my vacuum-sealed pack is not tight, is the tea still fresh and consumable?

Our teas are vacuum-packed fresh at source in India. At times, when you open the box, you might find the vacuum bag loose. This is completely normal & has no impact on the freshness of the tea. The pouch is still sealed & all stale air has been flushed out. So, cut open the bag & brew yourself a cup of tea.

Life is short, drink good tea - Daily Darjeeling

This is a second flush/summer harvest tea, lighter than the Daily Assam with a very nice sweet/astringent balance on the finish after a 212F/5 minute steep. Vahdam's first flush Darjeeling has a much greener, citrusy profile, but this is a very nice tea as well and is in regular rotation with the Daily Assam at work. Both teas hold their flavor as they gradually cool, as inevitably happens on a work day with a tall travel flask and would work iced as well.

A few words about the packaging. Each tea came in a dark green cardboard box. Inside each box was a shrink-wrapped, aluminum lined bag of tea, a mylar zip lock bag to decant it into for freshness, a label to put on the mylar bag - with the name of the tea, since of course you bought more than one, and brewing instructions for the best results. Also included are a glossy little pamphlet about the company (again with brewing suggestions), and a 10% off next purchase card. Not to mention Inspirational Tea Quotes printed inside the box. Yes, this is absolutely designed to be appealing, to convince you of quality and to anoint you with the esteem owed to a genuine teaphile, to evoke posh English drawing rooms and the best bone china and milk and one lump or two and do please buy more of our tea!

Darjeeling tea

This is my first order of Vandana tea and the Darjeeling is so smooth with a clean taste. The perfect tea for an afternoon pick me up.
I will definitely order more of the loose leaf tea.

My go-to daily tea

I have been drinking it first thing every morning for some time and don't plan to stop. It's flavorful, not too tannic, and a great way to start your day. Highly recommended

Keep on ordering

Wonderful aroma and taste of darjeeling. I always trust the quality of teas when it comes from Vadham and this one does not disappoint. Highly recommend. I either drink it as is, or I grind my own spices and boil and make with milk. Either way, you can't go wrong

Darjeeling Tea

Right now, this is my favorite tea. It's light-tasting without being weak. Great flavor!
