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.

Fast

I have been purchasing Vadham tea since November 2018, I have always found it of excellent quality, flavour and value. I originally purchased it from Amazon until it stopped being delivered to Ireland in November 2019. This was my first order direct from Vadham, it has been a very positive experience. My order arrived faster from India than it would have taken to come from Amazon UK. Very happy to have made the change.

Good

It's probably not so strong notes of rosewood, as previous customers describe, but it still nice taste. With regard to tea, this is good and worth the money. Well packed.
On the package was a description of SFTGFOP grade, not FTGFOP just as a fact. Fast freeship eight days to Russia. Чай хороший, но нет никакого интенсивного аромата розового дерева, и с китайским копчёным не имеет ничего общего (по крайней мере для моего обоняния). Пожалуй этот чай, в разумных пределах конечно, просто невозможно перезаварить до горечи.

Everything perfect!

Good fresh and delicious tea!

С дымком

Когда покупал, не ожидал, что он будет с дымком, очень сильно напоминает китайский lapsang souchong. Чай свежайший, но, очевидно, что не "моё". Купил 2 пачки, одну, очевидно придется подарить.
