Assam is the largest tea-growing region in India and some say in the world. It is home to India’s indigenous, wild-growing tea plant variety, Camillia sinensis assamica.

Botanical name of Tea is Camellia sinensis. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. Tea is an evergreen plant that mainly grows in tropical and subtropical climates. It is thought to have originated in East Asia somewhere between China and Burma. Commercial cultivation of tea started in India from British era when one Robert Bruce in 1823 discovered tea plants growing wild in Upper Brahmaputra valley. In May 1838 the first Indian tea from Assam was sent to England for public sale.
About the crop
Tea grows in a moderately hot and humid climate, which is preferred for better yield, crop distribution and quality. An ambient temperature within 13°C and 28-32°C is conducive for growth of tea. Temperature above 32°C is unfavourable for optimum photosynthesis. It is synergically disastrous for the crop if it is accompanied by low humidity.
In India, the temperature in winters is around or below 12°C and there is hardly any growth during this period. This is called Winter Dormancy. Flushing in the tea plants starts from March with the rise in temperature.
