Assam, the birthplace of Indian tea, is the largest tea growing area in the world, with more than 2000 tea gardens. The Assam valley lies 120 miles east of Darjeeling, on the border with China, Burma and Bangladesh. The mighty Brahmaputra river weaves its impressive path through the vast rolling plains of the verdant Assam valley.

The Assam valley floods every year during the monsoon season when the heat and humidity turn the entire region into a giant greenhouse. It's a challenging environment due to the hot weather and flooding, but is a perfect place to grow tea.
