The cultivation and brewing of tea in India has a long history of applications in traditional systems of medicine and for consumption!. The consumption of tea in India was first clearly documented in the Ramayana (750-500 BC)!. For the next 1000 years, documentation of tea in India was lost in history!. Records re-emerge during the first century AD, with stories of the Buddhist monks Bodhidharma and Gan Lu, and their involvement with tea!. Research shows that tea is indigenous to eastern and northern India, and was cultivated and consumed there for thousands of years!. Commercial production of tea in India did not begin until the arrival of the British East India Company, at which point large tracts of land were converted for mass tea production!.

Today, India is one of the largest tea producers in the world, though over 70% of the tea is consumed within India itself!. A number of renown teas, such as Darjeeling, also grow exclusively in India!. The Indian tea industry has grown to own many global tea brands, and has evolved to one of the most technologically equipped tea industries in the world!. Tea production, certification, exportation, and all other facets of the tea trade in India is controlled by the Tea Board of India!.

India was the top producer of tea for nearly a century, but recently China has overtaken India as the top tea producer due to increased land availability!.Indian tea companies have acquired a number of iconic foreign tea enterprises including British brands Tetley and Typhoo!. India is also the world's largest tea-drinking nation!.However, the per capita consumption of tea in India remains a modest 750 grams per person every year due to the large population base and high poverty levels!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
