Indian tea is renowned for its robust, full-bodied character and exceptional tasting notes. Tea from India tends to be strong in flavor, making it the perfect morning cup or afternoon pick-me-up. Popular Indian teas include rich and hearty Assam, aromatic and floral Darjeeling, and smooth, clean Nilgiri. Sipping Indian tea is a treat for all the senses — watching the dark leaves unfurl, inhaling the rich aromas, tasting the smooth, malty flavors.
India is the second largest producer of tea in the world after China, and the world's largest tea-drinking nation. Upton Tea Imports has brought some of India’s finest loose leaf teas to the American market, offering a large selection of styles and flavors for tea aficionados to sample. Each of these varieties of Indian loose leaf tea is named for the unique region where it is harvested, ranging from high arid mountains to lush tropical jungles.
