Discover our large range of Indian teas (loose leaf tea, tea bags and special packs) on MaxiCoffee!
India is one of the most important producers of tea. Indian teas are very varied due to their environment and many different kinds of tea bushes. India represents 1/3 of global production, the country itself consumes around 85% of the production, but mainly inexpensive teas. Quality teas are normally reserved for exportation. The main Indian teas are: Assam, Darjeeling, Nilgiri and Chai Tea. Find all our tea references on MaxiCoffee.
Assam tea: the first productive region, the plantations are large and extend from the Brahmaputra river, to the foothills of the Northern Himalayas, from the Patkoi mountains to the Southern Naga. Assam teas are particularly spicy and full-bodied.
Darjeeling tea: this is the most prestigious of Indian teas and is often referred to as the "Champagne of Tea". Harvesting takes place from mid-March to the end of April and the "first flush" teas are lively and delicate with white fruit notes. The next two offer lower quality teas with ripe fruit notes.
Nilgiri tea in South India offers round, sweet teas with a hint of astringency. Travancore teas offer a fuller-bodied, more colourful liquor reminiscent of Ceylon teas.
Chai tea is India's best known tea recipe and is widely consumed in India and has spread to other countries. It is a black tea, very sweet, mixed with boiling milk and many spices such as ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, star anise... Discover our wide range of plain or flavoured Indian teas on Maxicoffee.com!
