VAHDAM, Darjeeling Tea Leaves From Himalayas 340g (170+ Cups) Pure Unblended Darjeeling Black Loose Leaf Tea | Packed & Shipped Direct From Source In India

I tried one of the Vahdam samplers first, and the Daily Darjeeling was one of my Favorites. This is just an excellent tea. I've quit soda and added tea for the caffeine fix, and this is a great one to add to my tea rotation. Since switching from bags to loose leaf, I don't miss soda at all.

Exactly what ive been searching for - a strong black tea that does not leave a strange or bitter aftertaste. I just use 1 teaball in a 2 cup mug & it is a perfect cup of tea. Worth the extra cost & will def buy again.

My favorite Darjeeling.

I was curious about this because it received good reviews but is really inexpensive for a tea from Darjeeling. I liked this brewed at 1-1.5 teaspoons per cup, water at 185-190 F, for five minutes or even longer. The lower temperature allows more flavor nuances to emerge, as does a little milk. The bottom of the bag said that the tea was picked in October, making this a third or autumn flush tea, not a summer tea, as stated. This is what it tastes like, third flush teas are softer and deeper than second flush teas. This tea is like a Darjeeling, it is definitely from Northern India, but I'm not sure whether it is from Darjeeling or not. A tremendous amount of tea is grown in northern West Bengal, where Darjeeling is situated, and all around it. These teas are becoming more widely known, with good reason. Some of these areas are still relatively primitive, their teas are Darjeeling-esque, but with their own character, and are less expensive for now, just as teas from Nepal or Sikkim were less expensive a decade ago. The tea I've had that this reminded me the most of was a third flush tea from Nepal, the leaf quality and intriguing smell reminded me of a tea from Donyi Polo in Arunachal Pradesh. This Vahdam tea is higher quality than anything mainstream in a grocery store, but the teas from Northern India are capable of far more in terms of flavour: the variety and art of Camellia Sinensis in this part of the world is amazing. However, you do pay for this, in twenty odd years I have never found a deal in a Darjeeling, everyone involved knows exactly what they have. So, the question is what is really your cup of tea. If you want to know what the big deal is with Darjeeling tea, you're better off with named estate teas from a specialty company in the region, these are always well-described and consumer-rated. If this is too complicated, if you want a better than average cup of tea at a good price, this tea fits the bill..

I love me some darjeeling, so this was only a natural choice. Imagine my surprise when I have that first cup and it is complete and utter bliss! They used to offer a darjeeling chai a couple years ago, but I haven't seen it in a bit - of course, you can always add your own spices and make your own, and yes, you can get chai masala to turn your darjeeling into darjeeling masala chai. So yeah, you want good darjeeling? Buy this one.

Another delicious tea from Vahdam. I've been very satisfied with the various Vahdam teas that I have tried in recent years. This one is great too.

Good everyday tea. Real leaves without much of residue or tea dust.

Purchased the second flush Darjeeling tea loose leaf. Absolutely zero Darjeeling or Muscatel flavor. Can't believe I paid so much for this tea. Weirdly I got the Darjeeling second flush tea bags from the same brand and they are pretty good.

This brand has by far the best tea among commonly available brands online. Delicious and flavourful. Love the aroma. Worth the money!!

Vahdam Darjeeling leaf tea is awesome. Lovely flavour & great quality & so well packed.Fast& trouble free delivery.

Good quality

acquisto il tè Vadham da alcuni anni e sono sempre soddisfatta della qualità del prodotto. Non avevo ancora provato questa qualità di tè Darjeeling e devo dire che il sapore è leggermente diverso da come me lo aspettavo ma è comunque ottimo. Trovo che sia un po' leggero come tè me lo aspettavo più robusto ma ho fatto solo alcune tazze e forse devo ancora trovare la quantità giusta di foglie e di tempi di infusione, ogni tè ha i suoi tempi! Nel complesso il sapore è molto gradevole, lascia un retrogusto fresco non amaro, di certo non ha nulla a che vedere con i tè in bustina che si comprano normalmente nei supermercati! Inoltre mi piace molto la politica dell'azienda impegnata, oltre che a dare a noi consumatori un prodotto fresco, anche ad aiutare i produttori con un compenso equo e con iniziative sociali come la scolarizzazione.

This is very descent tea, I would rate it as 3.5 stars compared to the most exquisite Darjeeling tea I tried, but it was also very expensive. So this tea for its price deserves strong 5 stars. The pack is very big and I was delighted with the customer experience which is top notch in my opinion. The producer thought out every little detail. Tea comes in vacuum packet, and producer provides you with the separate sealed pack for storage, a sticker with description to put on the pack and a nice booklet with all necessary information. These are simple things, but they show attention to details and desire to provide best customer experience to users. For this I would give 10 stars. Well done Vahdam 👍🏻
