Giddapahar Premium Darjeeling First Flush Black Tea (DJ 13/2024)

Giddapahar means Eagle’s Cliff (Gidda = Eagle and Pahar = mountain or cliff) - a natural rock formation that overlooks the tea estate. It was started in 1881 where the combination of low temperatures and favourable slope create perfect conditions for excellent quality teas.

The full-bloom, copper-black leaves have a subtle toasty-floral aroma. When brewed, the golden cup is sweet and clean. The well-rounded mellow cup immediately bursts into layers of complex fruity flavour at the first sip, followed by hints of woody notes at the mid-palate, finishing off with a lingering muscatel hues.

Every time you purchase a VAHDAM® India product, 1% of the revenue goes towards the education of our farmers’ children under the social initiative, ‘TEAch Me.’ In partnership with (RED), a minimum of $100,000 is donated by us to support the fight against pandemics like COVID & AIDS.
