Tea India: The Evolving Legacy of a Nation That Breathes Tea

India is not just a nation that drinks tea—India is a nation that lives tea. When people around the world search for “tea India”, they are searching for a culture, a history, a landscape, a legacy, and a flavour identity shaped by centuries. From the mist-covered gardens of Darjeeling to the rain-fed valleys of Assam, tea is woven into India’s daily rhythm like a quiet heartbeat.

But as India continues to rediscover its taste for purity, authenticity, and craftsmanship, a new wave of tea appreciation has emerged—one where carefully sourced, finely crafted teas have begun to redefine what quality truly means.

This is where Tea & Me enters the story.

Tea India: A Journey Through Regions, Traditions & Changing Palates

1. Assam – The Powerhouse of Indian Tea

When people think of tea India, Assam is often the first name that rises to the mind.

With its bold, robust, malt-rich cup, Assam tea is the backbone of the Indian breakfast culture. It’s also the soul of CTC blends—strong, energising, and deeply satisfying.

At Tea & Me, you’ll find:

• Premium Assam long-leaf teas

• Signature CTC milk teas

• Masala chai, rose chai, chocolate chai & classic chai

All sourced from heritage gardens known for consistency and depth.

2. Darjeeling – India’s Most Elegant Tea

Darjeeling isn’t just tea—it’s an emotion. Called the “Champagne of Teas,” Darjeeling’s briskness, floral aroma, and delicate flavour profile make it one of the most celebrated teas worldwide.

Tea & Me brings:

• First Flush Darjeeling

• Second Flush Darjeeling

• High-altitude leaf teas with distinguished aroma

Darjeeling is where “tea India” meets global prestige.

3. Sikkim, Kashmir & The Himalayan Belt

Sikkim’s Temi gardens, Kashmir’s kehwa traditions, and Uttarakhand’s emerging tea estates represent India’s lesser-known but rapidly rising tea culture.

Indian customers increasingly search for rare teas—and Tea & Me curates them knowing their timeless appeal.

4. South Indian Teas – Nilgiri & Beyond

Nilgiri teas offer balance: smooth, fragrant, and gentle.

Their clean aroma and brisk finish pair beautifully with milk or stand refined as a pure leaf brew.

Tea & Me includes select South Indian leaf teas that reflect this region’s quiet excellence.

Tea India, Reimagined: When the World Meets Your Cup
