This 200-year journey deserves global celebration,” he said.

Consul General Shri Binaya Srikant Pradhan highlighted the importance of such platforms in enhancing India’s trade footprint and promoting indigenous products. “The Summer Fancy Food Show provides an ideal stage to present Assam Tea to a discerning international audience. It’s a proud moment for all Indians,” he noted.

The India Pavilion featured a diverse range of premium teas, including heritage Assam orthodox, CTC, and specialty blends, offering global buyers a taste of Assam’s finest. Attendees included global food importers, hospitality brands, trade delegates, and tea connoisseurs who applauded the enduring appeal of Assam Tea.

As Assam celebrates this historic milestone, the state reiterates its commitment to expanding the global footprint of its tea industry, upholding sustainable practices, and preserving the legacy of a product that has delighted palates worldwide for two centuries.
