Even before 1826 the people of the region traditionally used tea as a drink, although the manufecturing process was crude. The British started to made tea with modern techniques and send it to london from Dibrugarh via River Brahmaputra and then sold it in the first tea auction center of the world. At present Assam producess the finest quality CTC tea with the hardest liqure and finest flavour which accounts for 60 percent of India's tea production.
