Brisk and malty, Assam tea leaves come from the state of Assam which happens to be the world’s largest tea-growing area. Assam tea and its blends are popular worldwide as a breakfast tea. To be more precise, the Irish breakfast tea consists of small-sized Assam tea leaves and the English breakfast consists of a blend of black teas including Assam tea leaves. This type of tea is cultivated in the lowlands near the bank of the river Brahmaputra, the main factor leading to its malty taste.

Darjeeling tea originates from the district of West Bengal which is primarily sold as a black tea in the market. However, Darjeeling tea is also available in green, white, and oolong variants. The leaves of Darjeeling tea are thin and have a distinct floral taste.

Kangra Tea

Arising from the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, there was a time when Kangra tea was considered to be an exotic Indian tea. It is a lesser-known tea among the other types of teas as it is produced in small quantities. Infused with an earthy flavor and unique fragrant, Kangra tea is available as green and black tea.

Nilgiri tea

Dark, strong, and intoxicatingly aromatic, Nilgiri tea separates itself from other types of tea owing to such qualities. Coming from the plantations of the Western Ghats mountain range, the tea is often used in a blended form owing to its intense flavor. Nilgiri tea, in fact, falls under the category of India’s most popular caffeinated exports.
