Assam is known as the Tea Garden of India. Assam’s association with tea dates back to the early 19th century when indigenous tea plants were discovered growing wild in the region. This find transformed Assam into one of the world’s most important tea-producing belts. Today, the state is home to over 800 tea estates, sprawling across the fertile valleys of the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers.
Upper Assam: Known for premium orthodox and CTC teas, with estates around Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, and Sivasagar. Lower Assam: Produces robust teas with strong liquor, supporting large-scale production. Barak Valley: Located in southern Assam, this region contributes a smaller but significant share of high-quality tea.
