Frequently Asked Questions

Is Black Tea good for health?

Pour the freshly boiled 180-200 ml of water over the leaves in the teapot. Cover and let it steep for 3-5 minutes according to your taste preference (longer the steeping time, stronger is the tea). Add in Milk and sugar as per your taste and liking!
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.

Delicious cup of morning tea.

I enjoy drinking this tea in the morning with a splash of milk and a little sugar. Gets my day off to a great start.

Good fresh and delicious tea!
I liked all the varieties I bought. "Darjeeling & Assam Black" tea I really liked! It seems to me that I have not tried such tea before.
Great package!

Amazing Tea!!

This is not the first time that I have bought from Vahdam, and as yet never disappointed. The Unitea was a new type that I've not yet tried, it arrived the same day as I was about to leave for England, so I put it in my suitcase, will let you know, been waiting to try it.

Hi Mort Szram Thank you so much for your encouraging feedback & for being a part of the VAHDAM tea family. Hope to keep serving you with our collection of garden fresh teas.

Great tea, great price, great service

While I love your Assam teas and your Unitea, what amazes me is that the order comes from India faster than it does from places nearby. I agree with the other reviews I've seen.
