What makes Assam tea different from other black types of tea is that, Assam tea is made from Camellia sinensis var assamica, a plant native to Assam.
This region produced about 50% of the total Indian tea, making it the largest tea industry in India and the biggest tea growing region in the world. It has about 50 000 tea producers that make almost 49 000 thousands kilogram of tea per year.
