Assam is a state in northeastern India which produced tea since the 1830's. Assam is the most tea state in India and produces about 13% of the world's total tea production. The climate and geographical features of this place have influenced the creation of extensive tea plantations in the region. The monsoonal tropical climate with high rainfall and warm temperatures creates perfect conditions for growing tea. Tea gardens are located on the plains at an altitude of 60-100 meters above sea level. There are also about 300,000 ha of old tea trees grown wild since ancient times.
Located in Sivasagar district, Hajua was the first Assam garden to be entirely planted with carefully selected high-quality clonal bushes. Hajua was later merged with Khoomtaie, Tinsukia, and Rungoli Divisions to make what is today Assam’s largest tea estate.
Tea grown in Assam is famous for its bright color, refreshing rich taste, and spicy long-lasting aroma.
