Tea has been a significant beverage since time immemorial, the history of tea spreads over several cultures across the globe. Research suggests that as a beverage of choice has been around since 3rd century AD.

Every tea has its own distinctive taste, Indians call it the taste of the soil, we call it a great variety of tea.
British were the one who wanted to cultivate tea in India, the tropical Indian weather remarkably supports healthy growth of a lot of crops, so Britishers cultivated and consumed tea in enormous quantities between the early 1800s and India's independence from Great Britain in 1947.
It is believed that in 1780. Robert Kyd experimented with tea cultivation in India with
seeds from a consignment from China. A few decades later, Robert Bruce discovered tea plants growing wild in the Upper Brahmaputra Valley. In May 1823. the first Indian tea from Assam was sent to England for public sale.
The native plants bloomed well, while the Chinese seedlings struggled to survive in the intense Assam heat and it was eventually decided to make subsequent plantings with seedlings from the native tea bush. The first twelve chests of manufactured tea were made from indigenous Assam leaf that was later shipped to London in 1838 and were sold at the London auctions.
