To get the very best Darjeeling will cost you twice this much. This is, in our opinion, is an excellent every day tea. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely flavour *by A***W on 24 May 2022* A delicate flavour and so fresh, a quality first flush Darjeeling. But don't be surprised by the packaging when it comes, it will have the label Black spring tea, not First flush which made me hesitate to open it. I am definitely sticking with this tea it is perfect without milk and a joy to drink. ### ⭐ Completely different and unpleasant taste to a previous purchase *by S***T on 4 December 2024* I again purchased the company's first flush Darjeeling which I had previously enjoyed from my initial purchase two years ago. Whether it was a bad batch I cant tell but the tea did not look the same. It was mostly green, not black and had an unpleasant taste like it had been contaminated with another product. It simply didn't look the same as last time indicating a quality control issue. I contacted the company and had a quick response sending them the details requested. They offered to send another packet but I declined. Really online shopping has just become a lottery, even a repeat purchase from a previously trusted brand. There is just no way of knowing what you will get. Who knows, but it has put me off buying tea online as I am sure purchasing it this way leaves you open to getting an inferior product. I threw it out due to the unpleasant taste and wont buy from this company again. Having paid a premium price for a product I feel there is a breach of trust when you receive an inferior product. I've also become more cynical about the background story presented by companies like this. Creating some romantic narrative about a family heritage with slick marketing almost always ends up as just another marketing twist to extract higher prices. ## Frequently Bought Together - VAHDAM, First Flush Darjeeling Tea - 170+ Cups (340g/12oz) Loose Leaf Black Tea - Flowery, Aromatic & Delicious | Mellow & Fragrant | Vacuum Sealed Pack - 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 - VAHDAM, Darjeeling Tea Leaves From Himalayas 170+ Cups (340g/12oz) Pure Unblended Darjeeling Black Tea, FTGFOP1 Grade Loose Leaf Tea | Packed & Shipped Direct From Source In India --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/88341609-vahdam-first-flush-darjeeling-tea-340g-170-cups-loose-leaf](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/88341609-vahdam-first-flush-darjeeling-tea-340g-170-cups-loose-leaf) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
