Maintaining individuality in my work, creating something different from everyone else is the main goal of making herbal tea.
My country is my pride, equally my town Jalpaiguri's small village "Dhapganj" is my pride, my only duty is to stand by the small tea garden farmers of the village.
Assam is the largest tea-growing region in India, which contributes approx. of fifty-two percent of the country's total tea production.
Ever since tea was discovered in Assam in 1823, all the credits were taken away by the Bruce brothers. The world knew Robert Bruce to discover tea in Assam (the Northeastern region of India) whereas very little knew that, the Singpho were the ones who used tea as herbal drink much before the British discovered it.
In fact, when Robert Bruce once fell ill during one of his expeditions, the Singphos offered him the same herbal drink which was later discovered to be tea.
It was Maniram Dewan who directed him to the local Singpho chief Bessa Gam. When Robert Bruce met Singpho chief Beesa Gam in his quest to discover tea, the tribe not only taught him the local way to grow these profitable yielding leaves but also helped him understand a different kind of teas. But unfortunately, the same chief was charged for taking part in the 1857 revolt against the British and was jailed for a lifetime and sent to Kalapani in Andaman.
Maniram Dutta Baruah popularly known as Maniram Dewan was the first Indian to start planting tea in Assam. He was a Dewan (chief administrative and financial officer) of Assam Company until he resigned in 1841 to start his own tea estate.
But the British hanged him in 1858 for taking part in the mutiny of 1857. After Maniram Dewan's pioneering efforts, many others, mostly the Assamese, came forward to plant tea.
The leaves of the Assam tea bush are dark green and glossy and fairly wide compared to those of the Chinese tea plant, producing delicate white blossoms.
Robert Bruce died shortly after sending some tea plants for testing even before the plant was properly classified. Later in 1830s Robert's brother, Charles, arranged for a few leaves from the Assam tea bush to be sent to the botanical gardens in Calcutta for proper examination. There, the plant was finally identified as a variety of tea, or Camellia sinensis, but different from the Chinese variety.
The discovery of tea plants in Assam enabled the East India Company to develop a trade, which China had hitherto monopolized for a long time.
The first consignment of twelve boxes of tea manufactured by the Singphos of Arunachal was shipped from Calcutta to London in 1835.
Charles Bruce was later appointed as the superintendent of the tea forests of the government of Great Britain, who in 1837 sent forty-six boxes of Assam tea to the tea committee.
The biggest research center of tea in the world, situated in Jorhat, is Tocklai Tea Research Institute.
According to another report, Assam has over 800 organized tea plantations that are of medium to large size. There are also over 100,000 small-scale cooperative and individual tea farms. On average, Assam produces over 600 million kilograms of tea per year, making it one of the largest tea growing regions in the world.
The tea industry in Assam plays a very important role in the state's economy, both in terms of revenue and employment. Owing to its distinct character and taste, Assam tea holds a unique position in the tea industry.
In the early 19th century, during East India Company rule in India, Darjeeling was identified as a potential summer retreat for British officials, soldiers and their families. The narrow mountain ridge was leased from the Kingdom of Sikkim, and eventually annexed to British India. Experimentation with growing tea on the slopes below Darjeeling was highly successful. Thousands of labourers were recruited chiefly from Nepal to clear the forests, build European-style cottages and work in the tea plantations. The widespread deforestation displaced the indigenous peoples. Residential schools were established in and around Darjeeling for the education of children of the domiciled British in India. By the late-19th century, a novel narrow-gauge mountain railway, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, was bringing summer residents into the town and carrying a freight of tea out for export to the world. After India's independence in 1947, as the British left Darjeeling, its cottages were purchased by wealthy Indians from the plains and its tea plantations by out-of-town Indian business owners and conglomerates.
Darjeeling's population today is constituted largely of the descendants of the indigenous and immigrant labourers that were employed in the original development of the town. Although their common language, the Nepali language, has been given official recognition at the state and federal levels in India, the recognition has created little meaningful employment for the language's speakers nor has it increased their ability to have a significantly greater say in their political affairs. The tea industry and tourism are the mainstays of the town's economy. Deforestation in the region after India's independence has caused environmental damage, affecting the perennial springs that supply the town's water. The population of Darjeeling meanwhile has exploded over the years, and unregulated construction, traffic congestion and water shortages are common. Many young locals, educated in government schools, have taken to migrating out for the lack of jobs matching their skills. Like out-migrants from other regions of northeastern India, they have been subjected to discrimination and racism in some Indian cities.
Darjeeling's culture is highly cosmopolitan—a result of diverse ethnic groups intermixing and evolving away from their historical roots. The region's indigenous cuisine is rich in fermented foods and beverages. Tourists have flocked to Darjeeling since the mid-19th century. In 1999, after an international campaign for its support, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In 2005, Darjeeling tea was given geographical indication by the World Trade Organization as much for the protection of the brand as for the development of the region that produces it.
Although there are thousands of teas on the market, each of these teas can be classified into one of six main categories: Black tea. Green tea. White tea. Oolong tea. Yellow tea. Pu-erh tea.

Studies show oolong tea stimulates fat burning and increases the number of calories your body burns by up to 3.4%. Oolong tea is high in an amino acid called L-theanine, which studies show has cognitive effects like improved brain activity, better sleep quality, and reduced stress and anxiety.
It is an increasingly rare and expensive variety of tea. The process for making yellow tea is similar to that of green but with an added step of encasing, or sweltering, this also gives the leaves a slightly yellow coloring during the drying process.
Pu'er or pu-erh[1] is a variety of fermented tea traditionally produced in Yunnan Province, China. In the context of traditional Chinese tea production terminology, fermentation refers to microbial fermentation (called 'wet piling'), and is typically applied after the tea leaves have been sufficiently dried and rolled.[2] As the tea undergoes controlled microbial fermentation, it also continues to oxidize, which is also controlled, until the desired flavors are reached.
There are three main types of flushes: First Flush – The harvest period is late winter or early spring. Second Flush – The second harvest occurs in June or July and is sometimes called the Summer Flush. The harvest period is late winter or early spring.
First Flush is defined as the very first plucking of a tea plant's harvest season. The new growth leaves plucked during First Flush are the youngest and most tender part of the tea plant and are said to yield the purest and freshest cup of tea that plant is capable of producing.
The Second Flush, however, favoured by many, is plucked from mid-May to mid-June, when the monsoon rains arrive. They offer the same flavour profile as the First Flush, but with more body and less astringency. The Second Flush teas are very attractive teas and fetch the highest prices of any flush.
THIRD (AUTUMN) FLUSH – harvested October and November. Finally, there are the Darjeeling Third Flush teas, more commonly called “Autumn Flush” or even “Autumnals,” known for their large leaves.
