India recorded a total production of 1233.14 million kilograms of tea in the year 2015-16. Although approximately 75% to 80% of the tea produced is consumed within the country, India has been a major exporter of tea. India had registered an export figure of 232.92 million Kilograms in the year 2015-16. Assam Tea, Darjeeling Tea, Kangra Tea, and Nilgiri Tea are registered as Geographical Indications which means these names can be used exclusively by tea producers of the respective areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Approximately 52% of the total tea produced in India comes from the State of Assam. The State registered 652.95 million kilograms of tea production in the year 2015-16. Lakhimpur, Kamrup, Goalpara, Sivasagar, Cachar, Nagaon, and Derang districts of the State are the principal producers of tea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">West Bengal comes at the second position in the list of tea-producing states with 329.70 million kilograms of tea production in the year 2015-16, which is roughly 26% of the national produce. Districts of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, and Coochbehar are the major tea producers of the State.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The state of Tamil Nadu occupies third place with a production of 161.49 million kilograms of tea in the year 2015-16, whereas Kerala comes at fourth place with 56.63 million kilograms of tea in the year 2015-16. Nilgiri Hills and Munnar are the places in these two states which are famous for tea production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other tea-producing states are Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and the States of North East.
