Assam's Tea Growing Regions
Assam is India's largest tea-producing state, with gardens spread across the Brahmaputra valley in both Upper and Lower Assam, each area contributing its own character to the region's tea.
Upper Assam
Districts like Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, and Sivasagar are considered classic Assam tea country, known for producing full-bodied, malty tea prized for both CTC and Orthodox processing.
Lower Assam
Areas further along the valley also produce significant volumes of tea, contributing to Assam's overall output and supplying much of the CTC tea used in everyday chai across India.
What Makes Assam Distinct
The region's low elevation, hot and humid climate, and fertile alluvial soil set it apart from higher-elevation tea regions like Darjeeling, producing a stronger, more robust cup that's become synonymous with Indian tea drinking.
