India is the second largest tea producing country in the world. Two-thirds of the tea production originates from the four tea growing regions in the north of India: Assam, Darjeeling, Dooars and Sikkim. One third is produced in Nilgiri and Kerala, both lying in the south of India.
Assam is the world largest coherent tea growing area and lies in the north part of the country and on either side of the Bramputra river. Assam tea is valued for its full-bodied, malty, robust and strong flavour as well as its dark colour.
Darjeeling tea is grown on the foothills of the Himalayas, at an altitude of about 2,000 m (about 6560 ft). The flavour ranges from a mild, flowery and muscatel aroma to a tenderly bitter and spicy flavour.
