Frequently Asked Questions

What is the shelf life of products?

All Vahdam Teas have a shelf-life of 3 years from the Date of Picking/Harvest. The 'Date of Expiry' are mentioned on the bottom of all our boxes.

Where are your Teas from?

We source our teas from over 150 renowned 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 the Teas packaged?

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. Post 10+ quality checkpoints for leaf size, aroma, liquor, flavors etc. these are vacuum-packaged in opaque aluminum-lined bags using sophisticated machinery. These vacuum-bags are then stored in a dehumidified, temperature-controlled warehouse which ensures that the teas remain garden-fresh and maintain their character. Further, required quantities are packed in smaller vacuum-sealed packs which are boxed in the retail boxes and then sent over to our own delivery centers.

Castleton Muscatel Darjeeling Second Flush Black Tea (DJ 187/2021)

A quality tea thorough and through.

A tea that brings the best from nature and locks it in the tea leaves until brewed and sipped to release its goodness onto the palate. This tea leaves both an immediate and lingering satisfying taste in the mouth. Often for an hour after drinking this tea I feel like not drinking or eating anything else in order not to "over write" the awesome taste it continues to leave on the taste buds. The key is also to follow the brewing directions exactly as directed on the package.

Satisfied

I bought more of this this tea in a sale and it is as promissed. Quality second flush darjeeling with its characteristic "muscatel" taste and aroma. Recommended.
