Why Assam fames premium quality tea?

Nestled in the eastern low landscapes of Assam the tea cultivation easily covers acres of land in evenly trimmed furrowed fields that merge unassumingly as a whole in the garden. Flushed by the waters of the Brahmaputra and ample rain, the soil texture is clayey and rich in nutrients. The high degree of precipitation with warm monsoon showers floods the plains that soak in 10 to 12 inches (250–300 mm) of rain on an average day. Creating a greenhouse-like condition, humidity coupled with heat adds a unique body to the leaves. The briskness, the malty flavor with a color as deep as amber, the ambient fragrance is much loved as a breakfast choice of premium quality tea, all over the world. The state is the largest tea grower in the region converging in borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar. The distinctive and finest black tea is a strong characteristic of Assam that embodies a much-loved freshness. The region also produces green and white tea. After China, Assam boasts of native tea plants.
