VAHDAM TEAS, a premium Indian tea brand, has now become the first Indian homegrown brand to be featured on the popular Ellen DeGeneres Show, an American daytime television show that has won 11 Daytime Emmy awards till date.

Having started as a stand-up comedian, Ellen has established herself as an Icon and has built a daytime television empire in the last 40 years. 

For a young Indian brand like Vahdam Teas, getting featured on Ellen’s successful daytime show is an important milestone in the company’s journey. Vahdam’s ethical and fair-trade stand on sustainable sourcing and its social initiative- TEACH Me made it one of the partnering brands for Ellen’s subscription box - BeKind by Ellen. Vahdam Teas joins a list of 8 global brands for Ellen’s BE KIND. Spring Box 2020, that do business with ethics and passionately work towards creating a positive social impact. 

 

Talking about the brand, Ellen DeGeneres said that repeat after me - BEST. TEA. EVER. Together they have created an exclusive set of turmeric teas. Turmeric helps reduce inflammation and stress. At VAHDAM TEA, 1 per cent of their total revenue goes towards the quality education of their tea growers’ children. They not only take care of their own, but also provide the best tea in the business. Can’t beat that, he said.

Being the world’s first vertically integrated Tea Brand, Vahdam directly sources premium teas and spices from renowned tea plantations in India within hours of harvest, brings them to its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Delhi where further value is added to the harvest and a variety of in-house blends are made. 

 

BalaSarda said that it’s another big milestone for a young Indian brand like them to make it to Ellen’s. She’s been inspiring the world through her philanthropy and message of kindness. That’s what they strive to bring to their business too! This is a huge win for all of us at VAHDAM, he said.
