Assam is a state of India in the north-eastern region. It is to the south of the Eastern Himalayas and comprises the Brahmaputra Valley and the Barak river valleys, Karbi Angolng and the North Cachar Hills. It has an area of 30,285 square miles (approximately 14% the size of the UK). The principal goods produced in this area are tea, petroleum and silk.
 
 
Assam’s climate is perfect for producing tea. During the monsoon, as much of 10-12 inches of rain per day can fall with daytime temperatures rising to approximately 40 degrees Centigrade. This tropical climate is what gives Assam tea its unique flavour and pungent malty taste.
