In addition to this, all our spices used in Chai teas are sourced from their place of origin and within their respective harvest periods to get superior quality.

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.

I was initially only looking for chai but ended up with a basket full of others,whilst it is very good the Cardoman is fantastic as is the Earl Grey.
We’re looking forward to tasting the double spice and Fennel!

The title pretty much says it all. I have a great appreciation for the Vahdam teas; my favorite is Masala Chai.
Thanks to the included instructions for Chai preparation, I now make my Chai on the stove top. I wouldn't have expected it to be even better than my previous method of using a tea sleeve, but it is.
Absolutely delicious!

Having ordered the Vahdam sampler pack of Masala Chai teas from Amazon I knew which flavours I wanted, and buying direct from Vadham was able to get these in quantity and more importantly they are newly picked.
The flavours are fantastic, way better than buying locally in the UK, and the speed of dispatch and shipping is great.

Vahdam's Masala Chai is delicious. I drink it as regular tea, and yet it is in no way regular. It is a real treat. Each cup.
The owner is especially kind and thoughtful, and I appreciate the ethic of the company greatly.
Five stars.
