Which Indian City is Renowned for Tea?

Whenever tea is mentioned in India, the first name that springs to mind is — Darjeeling. Situated in the Himalayas of West Bengal, Darjeeling is commonly referred to as the “Queen of Teas” due to its globally renowned, finely flavored brews. The salubrious climate, high elevation and special soil of the region impart to Darjeeling tea its unique aroma and flavor, which make it the most coveted tea across the globe.

Outside of Darjeeling, Assam (particularly cities such as Dibrugarh and Jorhat) is another tea giant. Assam grows more tea in quantity in India than anywhere else, with its strong, malty taste and heavy colour — a popular choice for breakfast blends worldwide. Nilgiri in Tamil Nadu is another state growing aromatic, brisk teas.

India’s tea narrative is not attached to any single location but to a string of legendary places, each adding its own distinctive taste. However, Darjeeling is still the city most identified with high-end Indian tea in the world.
