Indian tea industry

The Indian tea industry is one of the largest in the world, producing a variety of teas, including Assam, Darjeeling, and Nilgiri. With a rich history dating back to the British colonial era, India is both a major producer and consumer of tea. The industry employs millions, particularly in rural areas, and plays a vital role in the economy. Tea estates are often set in picturesque hills, and the cultivation process is labor-intensive. India exports a significant amount of tea globally, contributing to its cultural identity and international trade, making it an essential sector in the country's agricultural landscape.
