VAHDAM Top 20 World Favorites Loose Leaf Tea Sampler
VAHDAM's Top 20 World Favorites sampler gathers twenty loose leaf teas sourced from Indian plantations: black, green, oolong, white, chai and herbal blends. The brand says the leaves are vacuum sealed and packed within 24 to 72 hours of harvest, and that VAHDAM is a carbon-neutral and plastic-neutral company. With twenty teas to compare, it reads like a tasting flight rather than a box of tea bags. Rated 4.6 across more than 1,100 reviews on Amazon US, at about $35.
