Ingredients

Darjeeling Black Tea

Tasting Notes An enthralling cup of summer black tea from the fascinating region of Darjeeling. This is a light, second-flush black tea with crisp, berry-like nuances that shall captivate you from the first sip! The brownish-black leaves are short, tightly-rolled, and interspersed with some green flakes. The liquor is mellow and unimposing, with notes of date palm and fermented barley that are discernible but fade away quickly. Indulge in a brisk and flavourful cup of tea that has signature Darjeeling second-flush attributes of wood and dried fruit.

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.

Vadham Tea is Excellent!!

I have tried a few of the Darjeeling and Assam teas from Vadham. All had excellent flavour profiles and were reasonably priced. They also sent me a sample of a Oolong tea which also was very good. I plan to try more of their offering in the near future.
The shipment came very quickly.

Excellent service and quality as ever

Shipping was slow because of the current pandemic, but I always look forward to my afternoon tea with Vahdam darjeeling when times are tough!

Слишком дорого за такое качество

Вообще не понял этот чай. Обычно я покупаю китайский, решил попробовать индийский. Предположил, что за такой прайс уж наверняка что-то неплохое пришлют. В итоге, чай выглядит совсем не как на картинке - судя по-всему, мне прислали broken чай, а не круппнолистовой. Аромат чая странный, после сортового китайского это пахнет непонятно чем, то ли пакетом, в который его упаковали, то ли чем-то еще, слабый и неприятный запах. На вкус в целом нормально, не терпкий приятный чай, но кому-то может показаться недостаточно крепким. В общем, мне не понравилось.
