Heritage of Assam's Tea Tradition
The story of Assam tea began in the 1830s when wild tea plants were discovered growing naturally in the region. This discovery led to the establishment of India's first tea gardens in 1837, transforming the area into one of the world's most significant tea-producing regions. Traditional production methods, passed down through generations, involve careful hand-plucking and orthodox processing that preserve the tea's distinctive characteristics. The second flush harvest, occurring during the summer months, produces teas particularly prized for their full-bodied flavor and golden tips. Today, Assam tea continues to be celebrated globally, representing a perfect union of traditional craftsmanship and natural terroir.
