Abstract

Tea is a natural product and virtually calorie-free when drunk without milk and sugar. Over the last few decades, tea has become one of India’s most important commodities. The Indian tea industry is about 172 years old. The credit for creating India’s vast tea empire goes to the British, who discovered tea in India. Tea is grown in the states viz. Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. However, production in substantial quantities is limited to the first five states. In Tamil Nadu, most of the tea plantations are situated in the Coonoor and Gudalur areas of the Nilgiris along with the Valparai region of Coimbatore district.
