India

India is home to three famous black tea regions and varieties, Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri.

Assam teas are famous for their rich, assertive and malty flavours; Darjeeling teas are light, succulent and fragrant; and Nilgiri teas combine both richness of flavour and fragrance with mellow undertones.

Tea was first produced on a major scale in India in the mid 1800's.

Today, it is one of the largest producers of black tea in the world, if not the largest; with an annual harvest exceeding 800,000 tons, half of which is produced in Assam alone.

Tea continues to be cultivated on small family plots, which number close to forty thousand.
