desertcart.com : VAHDAM, First Flush Darjeeling Tea - 50 Cups (3.53oz) | Loose Leaf Black Tea - Flowery, Aromatic & Delicious | Picked, Packed & Shipped Direct From India | Champagne Of Teas | Mellow & Fragrant : Everything Else

Review: Stop what you’re doing – this is the chai you’ve been waiting for! - I wasn’t expecting my morning tea ritual to get this upgrade—so I’m thrilled to say it did. From the moment I opened the vacuum‑sealed pouch, the aroma of warm cinnamon and gently spiced black tea leaves hit me with a “home cozy” vibe. The packaging promises “whole loose leaf,” fresh from plantations, and honestly, you can tell. What I loved The flavor: A beautifully balanced blend of black tea strength and indulgent cinnamon warmth. It’s not overly sweet or fake‑spiced—just real, rich chai. Versatility: I brewed it traditionally (hot water), tried it with milk for a latte‑style treat, and even iced it on a warm afternoon—it held up and tasted great every way I made it. Quality & ethics: The brand highlights sourcing from premium plantations and environmental/sustainability commitments (vacuum‑sealed for freshness, fair‑trade considerations) which gives me extra confidence in what I’m drinking. That chai “moment”: It wasn’t just a beverage—it felt like taking a small escape, a little ritual I looked forward to. A couple small notes If you’re used to very sweet, mass‑market chai mixes, this might feel less sweet—but to me, that’s a feature, not a flaw. Because it’s loose leaf and whole leaves, you’ll want a good infuser or strainer for clean drinking. Final verdict If you’re looking for a tea that brings soul, warmth, and flavor‑depth beyond the usual, this is a solid pick. It’s ideal for your morning cup, a moody rainy afternoon, or when you want something special to share with friends (yes—I gifted some and got envy‑worthy compliments). Get it. Brew it. Cozy up and enjoy the moment. Would absolutely buy again and recommend to anyone who loves quality tea with character.
Review: As Close To Perfection as You Can Get - I am a tea lover. I have traveled to China and had tea in various tea houses, including the big government run establishment in Beijing. I even ordered tea directly from China for many years - different types and flavors. I've been to and had tea from different parts of the world - Kenya and Sri Lanka included. My go to brand is Dilmah tea bags - they are perhaps the best for travel since the tea bags contain real loose-leaf tea and the flavor is superb. Not inexpensive though, they are shipped directly from Sri Lanka and that is the only problem if you run out of supply as I did recently. Which led me to this. In my desperate search for a suitable alternative to my favorite Dilmah, I tried many different ones I have at home - but nothing really was good enough. Then I thought I would make another attempt here on desertcart. My previous experience with tea, especially Darjeeling ordered here has not been good. I recall the best tea I have ever had was in person at the Makaibari Estate in Darjeeling and it was the First Flush they grow there. Since then I have tried to get it many times, but it has never been the same. Reading the reveiws here of different brands I was not very hopeful until I came across Vahdam. The key with all teas, especially First Flush is freshness. It cannot survive handling at various intermediaries. True to the promise, it came in a vacuum-sealed pack with a very convenient sealable bag with a peel-off label to use with it. The leaves do look fresh and are somewhat soft. The color of the brew is the typical bright and golden that you expect. The aroma is heavenly. For aficionados, First Flush when made from fresh leaves fills the room with its beautiful bouquet. The Vahdam product is not quite there, and that is again to be expected, no matter the source, once it is packed and stored, the tea does lose some of its aromatic qualities. It therefore has to be consumed as quickly as possible. My sample was probably harvested in March of 2023 and I am having it nine months later, so it is not going to be the same as fresh tea. The taste has that delicate, fruity, sweet quality with a long finish. I found notes of tulsi even, but that is part of its complex nature. This is not a tea to be had in a hurry. When brewed properly and served in delicate china, it is truly one of the gastronomic wonders of the world. All I can say is that this product is as close to perfection as you can get from something ordered online and received in two days. Harvested eight thousand miles away, the fact that I can savor its delightful flavor sitting here in New York is a marvel in itself. The packaging is very nice, with a note from the owner of the estate. He does mention the idea of giving back to the farmers and workers who produce these wonderful things and I do hope he lives up to his promise because the worker at a tea estate is the lowest participant in this chain and it is really a tedious and back-breaking job that she performs, in order to bring us a little bit of paradise. Now go and order some of this heavenly nectar.
