VAHDAM Himalayan Green Tea Loose Leaf (12oz|170+ Cups) Long Leaf Green Tea

I really like this tea, from it's vacuum sealed shipping container, to it's regal dark green storage bag, beautiful full dried tea leaves and of course the amazing subtle green tea taste. I've now bought this a few times, expecting that my first impression was influenced by it's 'newness' rather than by it's genuine quality, or possibly a better word would be it's character. But now, after my third purchase, and a few days off, drinking other tea until the order is delivered, or I get home to it again, I believe a great review like this is in order. I even just bought some in tea bags for future travel and when going out. Could be an obsession. Enjoy.

If you've tried to brew your own green tea, you know that it can be unforgiving. Seems it needs no more than 175 degree water and a 3 to 4 minute brew time to avoid bitterness. Then there's the anxiety of where to purchase it from. Most seems to be sourced from China and I've read countless hair raising reports about the lack of quality controls and lax standards of all types of products, from kid's toys sprayed with lead based paint, to things labeled organic that is irrigated with sewage water! Sorry for that mental image, but based on Amazon's recommendation and so many positive reviews I decided to give this tea a try. It's grown at high elevations at plantations in Darjeeling, India. Immediately on opening the sealed package I was impressed by the consistency and beauty of the leaves. I purchased a Breville tea maker some time back that simplifies the brewing and times it perfectly. Using the Breville, I use 2 heaping teaspoons of tea in the basket with one liter of filtered water for 4 minutes. The resulting tea is absolutely delicious. Very light with no tannin or bitter taste. I bought a klean kanteen one liter thermos bottle that by the way keeps liquids incredibly insulated, and I fill it with my fresh brew to take to work and sip all morning. This brand is marketed as having rigorous controls and purity standards and, of course, we can only hope they are accurate and true. But I can verify that this has become my defect brand. I'd determined that i wanted to increase my green tea intake mostly for the health benefits and EGCG content. But with tea this delicious, I look forward to my daily liter intake of tea. My mouth feels clean and sanitized after drinking it. Cannot recommend that you try this enough if you are a green tea lover for taste or health reasons.

The flavor for this tea is rich and we have really enjoyed it. We have been using it for a while now and it was a delicious choice that we plan to order again in the future!

I have bought this about a dozen times so far and have it on Subscribe and Save. We use this to make hot tea in cold weather and iced tea in warm weather. We brew in a cast iron tea pot. We add nothing to it except for fresh squeezed lemon. It is delicious! Also, this company is a Certified B Corporation. Excellent!

Being a bit of a tea-snob, I approached this "cheap product" with caution. Other than the price, it had two things going for it: it was organic, and it was reasonably fresh (my package was harvested Summer of 2017, I consumed it during Jan and Feb of 2018. Not too old, as far as tea goes. Not really fresh, but much better than anything you'd get in your average Kroger, Whole Foods or especially your neighborhood Teavana store (don't get me started on those). The first batches I ran turned out rather bitter. Obviously, the tea needs a bit more heat than most of the green teas I usually drink do. The tea also benefits from aerating. The palate is pretty grassy, as others have pointed out, with little of the subtle notes of roasted vegetables and blossoms that the better Darjeeling teas tend to have. Also none of the lovely muscatel fragrance that the Southern Darjeeling plantations are famous for. I suspect this tea is grown pretty much in the North, and they are probably harvesting most of the tea leaf. OK then, let's brew it as such. Here's the recipe to success: use fresh, cold, filtered water only. Heat it up to 175ºF (80ºC), use at least 5 teaspoons of tea for 1 quart/liter of water, and let the tea steep for 4:00 minutes. Then pour the brew away (or feed it to your plants) and immediately prepare a second brew with 170ºF and 4:30 minutes steeping time. That one will be excellent. Smooth and luscious liquor, not overly complex, but still enough layered taste for you to explore and keep it interesting.

After learning about the microplastics in tea bags I wanted to switch to a loose leaf tea. This tastes great. I let it steep for 3 minutes.

I've been buying this tea for awhile now. Over three years. I know what green tea looks like. This batch has Cleary seen black tea leaves in it. That's to me because some companies will add the least selling tea to the most selling tea bags to reduce the products expire age. Or to move the product that sits the longes. I'm not saying this company is doing this but. It Aint Right I Tell YA!

I've been buying much more expensive green tea. The first thing I noticed with Vahdam green tea is the freshness! You are right on target with your marketing plan and business model. I am telling everyone. As a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Mindfulness Professional I look for high quality health products, especially nutritional, that I can refer my clients to. The Vahdam green tea is the freshest and best tasting plain green tea I have found on the market! I am also pleased to receive excellent customer service when I made direct contact with the company. I highly recommend this company and product line to anyone who loves a good hot pot of tea like I do each morning. The price is also very reasonable. I brew a hot green tea each morning and then sit the hot brewed leaves in their mesh bag in a pot of filtered cold water and leave it all day to cold brew. In the evening I pour the cold brew into a glass jar and pop it in the refrigerator for a cold tea the next day. Great company! Great product!

Woww súper mis expectativas en verdad, súper la presentación súper el olor, tengo 14 años tomándolo feliz con mi compra si estás buscando elige este 👍🏼

This brand has quickly become one of my favourite matcha powders. It's got a deep earthly taste to it which does great when mixed with other liquids, or even in baking. The bitter taste is strong on its own but when mixed the bitterness becomes more subtle and you get more of a creamy matcha taste. If you're looking to try matcha for the first time this is a great place to start. There's also instructions on the back to help you create the perfect matcha drink!

Muy buen té. Viene al vacío, por lo que conserva todo el aroma. Está muy rico. Realmente no tiene ninguna pega 10/10.

Thé vert très légèrement fumé.Attention à la durée d'infusion,courte si on veut apprécier cet excellent thé vert . Je connaisais déjà le ceylan,déjà de grande qualité.

The taste is great and the price was reasonable. Will definitely buy from the same brand again and can recommend it for anyone looking for proper matcha!
