Assam
Northeastern Indian state
Assam is a state in northeastern India, known for producing robust black tea with a malty, full-bodied flavor.
The tea grows in the Brahmaputra River valley, one of the world's largest tea-growing regions.
Assam tea is often used in breakfast blends and chai: I'll have the Assam, not the Darjeeling.
