VAHDAM Kashmiri Kahwa Tea (3.53oz|50+ Cups) Green Tea with Saffron & Almond

My introduction to Vadham Teas was via their 10-blend sample pack. I have only tried 2 or 3 of the blends so far, but that is because as soon as I tried to Kashmiri Kahwa, I ordered the full-size pack, and that's all I've been drinking for the last month. First off, the way that Vadham packages their tea is excellent. Vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness, and then you transfer it into another pouch that they provide. The label is extremely useful, I love how each flavor has its own steeping instructions (steep time, water temperature... etc). Secondly, I love the message behind Vadham's brand. India is the jewel of the world's spice and tea trade. But perhaps due to the legacy of colonialism, these agricultural goods are exported for dirt-cheap in their raw form to other nations, rather than sold at the highest margin by the Indian producers themselves. As a fellow entrepreneur, I would like to applaud Mr. Bala Sarda for his innovative approach to his brand, cutting out the middlemen exploiting the producers of India of their profits, all while promoting the authentic flavors of India. And lastly, let me discuss the authentic flavors of Vadhma Teas, specifically this Kashmiri Kahwa blend that I have been drinking for a few weeks now. The flavor is light and refreshing, the cinnamon and cardamom add a layer of warmth aromatics to every whiff and sip, and the natural oils from the crushed almond add depth to the body of the tea. The saffron, of course, is the pungent needle that weaves it all together. I am in love with this blend. I also bought 1 pouch for my mom, and another for my girlfriend. Keep up the good work Vadham!

This is awesome! But you still need rose petals, cardamom, clove, cinnamon stick to boil It. I also add a bit of ginger when boiling. Then add crushed almonds and saffrons and raw honey. My grandmother was from Kashmir so she taught me how to make it!

Anyone looking for authentic kashmiri kahwa, this is it!! Quality is even better than what we get in Indian local market. Ofcourse no sugar added.

They changed their recipe. Unfortunately will not be purchasing for our business again. It’s a very bad recipe. The original was amazing. Who uses licorice in Kashmiri chai?!

I have to say that when I first opened this bag of tea it smelled awful (hence the 4 stars). The smell almost had a menthol like quality and was very strong, so I was expecting not even to be able to drink it. It honestly smelled like biofreeze (a cooling muscle rub cream) and I almost didn’t even try it. That said, I bought this tea to make Kashmiri pink chai and was unable to find just the Kashmiri tea leaves so bought this blend and thought maybe it would be different after it was prepared. Most recipes say the Kashmiri tea leaves make a difference compared to just any green tea leaves, so I decided to give it a try. First, I just made a cup of tea. After being steeped in hot water, the smell changed and was more pleasant and chai like. The tea wasn’t bad at all, especially if you like cardamom, which has a strong presence in this tea. Because the test cup went ok, I moved forward with the pink chai recipe (I discovered it during my travels and wanted to be able to make it at home because there’s no where to get it anywhere near where I live). This tea turned a beautiful deep red as I was making it, and the final pink chai was heavenly. It was very close to the tea I had tried and was attempting to recreate. The flavor of the final pink chai was delicious and not at all what I was expecting given the initial smell when I first opened the bag. I will definitely be using this for making pink chai in the future!

Fragrant, aromatic and delicious.

I don't review products often but I'm a repeat buyer of the Kashmiri Kahwa by Vahdam Teas. The fine quality of the packaging is the first thing I noticed along with the freshness of the tea and then the taste is absolutely phenomenal. Kashmiri Kahwa is close to my heart and I'm thankful Vahdam has this product. I've never gotten a chance to taste authentic Kahwa in the valley of Kashmir but reading other reviews confirming that this is quite close to the authentic Kahwa by other reviewers gives me confidence to buy it again. I hope authentic Noon Chai from Kashmir Valley is also included as one of the Kashmiri products that are offered, in the future. Also reading customer reviews talking about how the founder himself, Bala Sarda responds to customer Tweets is commendable and makes me love the product even more. The fact that a minimum of 1% of the revenue from Vahdam teas is given to the education of the kids of the tea farmers is a wonderful gesture and I hope that it is actually the case.

I was looking for something different in a green tea and found this blend from Vadham. Since I've been buying their teas for a while and enjoying them I thought it would be worth a try since my experiences with Vadham's products have all been excellent. This is a different and unusual spiced tea blend that I found a refreshing change from the more traditional masala chai blends. Nothing wrong with them, I like them too, but this blend is different flavor profile and I've enjoyed it very much. The flavors are subtle but fresh, and the scent of almond and saffron is apparent, too. For now this is my cold weather go-to cup of tea, and if you like the spices that are listed for this blend, then you should enjoy this one very much.

Semplicemente meraviglioso! Vadham continua a stupirmi per la qualità eccelsa dei suoi tè, che sto consigliando -e regalando- a tutti gli amici. Ottimi. Il kashmiri kawa è un tè verde speziato tipico dell'ononima regione indiana. Amo in particolare il sentore di zafferano che sprigiona. Se siete abituati a bere tè aromatizzati , provate questo dove l'aroma è dato da freschissime spezie. Non tornerete indietro!

What a wonderful tea! I love the story of the company and the personal email I receive from them, but mostly, the tea has just a wonderful taste and I will definitely purchase some more from them!

Un parfum exceptionnel à l'ouverture du sachet. Tout est prévu pour conserver son thé dans les meilleures conditions. Attention à la température de l'eau et au temps d'infusion, sinon le thé devient imbuvable. Mais si on respecte ces conditions, il est vraiment très doux et parfumé. Un régal ! A offrir ou à s'offrir :)

Delicioso té, muy aromático y con un sabor intenso. Además, el producto está muy bien presentado, viene envasado al vacío y dentro de la caja trae una bolsa con auto cierre para poder conservar mejor el té. Muy recomendable.

Just opening it, right away I knew it was gunna be quality. It's vacuum packed and sealed to maintain freshness. Yet, they also give you a resealable bag to put the tea in. I bought this to make the noon/kashmiri chai (pink chai). Worked great and this tea already came blended with saffron and almonds. It's definitely a delectable, dessert tea. Me and my husband loves it so much. Also the company donates 1% to farmers kids in India which I personally love . Feel good, about buying a great tea. Can't go wrong!! ❤️❤️❤️
