Hi Friends,

It's very rare that someone doesn't like tea. A cup of tea in the morning, will keep us energized for the whole day and makes our body ready for the daily tasks.
"Tea is the magic key to the vault of the morning" is what said by famous quotation anthologist Terri Guillemets and it is so true and a cup of tea in the morning will set the tone for the whole day.
Being an Indian and India being home for high quality tea plantations, it's quite natural that, I need a tea as soon as I get up from the bed and that will keep me motivated for day to day activities including blogging on Hive/Leofinance and playing games either Splinterlands battles or the new addiction of Tap2Earn Telegram games.
Normally, I will have 3 to 4 cups of tea throughout the day, but, morning One and another cup of tea around 5.30 PM will be more significant Ones as those 2 periods will need some kind of stimulation to us to get out of the bed/chair and have a relaxed mood to get ready for further activities in the morning or in the evening.
In India, the main tea producing states are Assam, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
Assam Tea Plantations:

Assam is by far India's largest tea producer state and Assam is also World's largest tea growing region by production.
The Assam tea is normally the black tea usually produced from plants known as Camellia Sinensis and is mostly grown on either side of the Btahmaputra river.
Assam is also the Second largest commercial tea producing region after southern China and these 2 regions are also the only 2 regions with native tea plants.
As there will be an early sunrise in Assam, the Assam tea plantations/gardens doesn't follow the usual IST (Indian Standard Time) as in case of other tea plantations, it will be an hour ahead of the IST which is being followed in Assam from the time the British ruled India.
Apart from Assam, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu are 2 other prominent tea producing states in India.
West Bengal's Darjeeling region is another prominent tea producers in India and Darjeeling tea is as famous as Assam's black tea and another tea region in West Bengal is the Nilgiri region and both Darjeeling and Nilgiri regions produce distinct tea varieties famous across India.
Tamil Nadu Tea:
Tamil Nadu state's Nilgiri Hills region is One of the largest tea producers in India and Tamil Nadu and Kerala are 2 prominent South Indian states which produce very high quality black tea and uniqueness of Nilgiri Hills tea is that, the tea is produced with traditional methods by plucking tea leaves by hand and letting it dry for 5 to 10 days.
Another uniqueness of Nilgiri Hills tea is, the tea is grown and also processed in Nilgiri district itself and tea industry has played significant role in development of the Nilgiri region as it provides employment opportunity to many and this is also One of the significant revenue producer for Tamil Nadu Government.
